Doug Rittmann, Ph.D., P.E., Instructor
Dr. Doug Rittmann says, "It seems like that I have been going to school all of my life." He graduated from the University of Texas at El Paso in 1968 with a B.S. in Biology with minors in Geology and Math. It was not until 1990 that he earned a Master of Science Degree in Engineering. During the interim, he obtained Class A (Class IV in other states) Water and Wastewater Plant Operator's Certificates of Competency from the Texas Department of Health in 1980. After obtaining his Master's Degree, he became registered in Texas as a Professional Engineer in May, 1991.
Most reasonable people would have been satisfied at this point in time with their professional development but not Doug Rittmann. He decided to go back to school again in 1996 to seek a Ph.D. in Environmental Science and Engineering. He says, " I was worried that future retirement at age 55 might hinder my chances for employment, so I went back to school to get a Ph.D to overcome age discrimination." In July 1999, he graduated with a PhD in Environmental Science and Engineering from the University of Texas at El Paso. About a year later in June 2000, he retired from the El Paso Water Utilities with about 30 years experience. He started his consultant work during 2000.
Since 2000, he has worked as an instructor for basic, senior, and graduate courses at the University of Texas at El Paso Engineering Department.
