Environmental Engineering
The Environmental Engineering Bachelor of Science degree program at Florida Polytechnic University is designed to collaborate closely with FIPR, the Florida Industrial and Phosphate Research Institute, to provide long term, real-world projects for project-based learning throughout the curriculum. Environmental Engineering programs are one of the critical engineering degrees offered within a Polytechnic Engineering University and directly in scope with the University’s mission to “serve students and industry through excellence in education, discovery, and application of engineering and applied sciences.”
Concentration in Water
Water is at the center of Environmental Engineering. This concentration delves into the topic more closely and prepares students to become scientists, engineers, and leaders at state, local, and federal levels and make a positive impact on global water quality.
Modern Techniques in Sustainability
In this concentration, students will study the impact of human activity on the environment and explore and develop technologies and techniques for ensuring a sustainable future.
