      "description": "The Water Treatment Technology Work Experience Education course allows the student to gain on-the-job experience through employment/volunteerism at an approved water treatment job site that is acquired by the student and related to the student’s major. A faculty member supervises all WEE courses to ensure that the work experience is of educational value. The course stresses good work habits and meeting of competencies through actual on-the-job performance. A student may repeat this course since course content varies and skills are enhanced by supervised repetition and practice. A maximum of 14 units may be earned in a single semester.",
