INSIGHTS FOR A MORE SUSTAINABLE PLANET

The BS in Environmental Engineering at Florida Polytechnic University applies principles from all of the natural sciences (physics, chemistry, geology, and biology) to help you tackle interconnected challenges as they relate to water, energy, air quality, and related fields. Environmental engineers advance the science and technology of air quality, water quality, water resources, housing and other built environments, greenspace development, and the protection of plants, animals and their habitats. Throughout the world, environmental engineers play a key role in defining the future of sustainable cities and communities, and reimagining systems that protect both the planet and the well-being of all people. To succeed as an environmental engineer, you will need an aptitude for mathematics and science, an abiding interest in protecting the natural environment and public health, and high motivation to study and prepare for environmental engineering practice.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

Florida Poly’s BS in Environmental Engineering provides a comprehensive curriculum grounded in courses in advanced mathematics, chemistry, and physics, as well as engineering. You will gain a broad introduction to all the sciences, along with their application to environmental engineering. The program prepares you to address some of the greatest collective challenges of our time. Foundational courses in the humanities and social sciences help to give you a broad view of the interaction of humans with the environment, and to measure the short and long-term social, environmental and economic aspects and impacts into sustainable engineering solutions. Hands-on laboratories and/or project-based learning are incorporated into each year of the Environmental Engineering curriculum. You will gain experience with engineering computer software and a range of laboratory tools as you progress toward upper level coursework and a yearlong senior capstone project.
