sulphur dioxide, by the way, is the problem in coal and carbon dioxide. the next coal-cleaning method i want to talk to you about is called gasification. it basically converts the coal into a gas by blasting it with steam and oxygen, so coal is a solid. and you re making it into a gas. with coal in gas form, it s actually easier to filter out the by-products that are bad for the environment. and then this is the most this is one that a lot of people talk about. the president even talks about this one. carbon capture and seque sequestration, it s capturing something and holding it. let me put it in layman s terms, you capture the carbon dioxide, and let s say you capture it and you send it down here and you pipe it underground and you bury it. according to the department of civil and environmental engineering at the uvermt of utah, there are more than 150 projects under way in the united states that involve carbon sequestration. there are issue was this as well, though. a lot of peopl
important. computer science is a non-engineering major, it has a starting salary of $61,000. if you want to put it together, computer engineers, they re creators, they create everything from video games to machines that build cars. you can see coming out of college, not a bad salary to start with $60,000, tony. yeah, if there are jobs available. are there jobs available once you put in the time and the effort to get that degree? reporter: that would be key. you re right. it doesn t matter if you can t get the job. the outlook for all of the engineering categories, the labor department expects that field to boost hiring by 11% over the next eight years. a big chunk of that growth is expected to be about in biomedical, civil and environmental engineering. as for computer science, the outlook, definitely strong there, as well as expected, to grow by more than 20%. there s one thing to point out about computer science. most of those jobs require that you have a ph.d. you actually have
leaking pipe by thursday. meantime, 210,000 gallons of crude continue to gush into the gulf of mexico every day. when and how the responsible parties stop that unrestrained continuous blast of petroleum remains to be seen. joining us now is civil and environmental engineering professor nagarajia of rice university. thanks so much for your time tonight. i hope i got your name right. yes, you did. excellent. the smaller box, the top hat, what makes it different than the bigger box and more likely to work? the primary thing is they will be sending the box down at the end of a pipe, if you will, that outer pipe will be sending down warm seawater. that will keep the box warm and hopefully it will not plug up the way the bigger one did and the ice plug will be prevented from forming. hopefully it will work.
