Environmental Engineering

Florida Common Prerequisites
Academic Learning Compact

The Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering degree program at Florida Polytechnic University provides a foundation in the holistic design of complex environmental systems with curriculum that applies science, analysis, and engineering design to environmental concerns to protect human health and the environment. The program applies traditional concepts and principals of engineering to create innovative solutions with hands-on, project-based learning in both laboratory and field implementation to topics related to pollution control, conservation practices, and real-life policy and ecosystems. The program offers elective courses in sustainability practices in engineering, water and wastewater treatment, environmental monitoring and testing, municipal solid and hazardous waste management, and geospatial assessment, as well as, applied research opportunities with real world implications.
