The Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering degree program is designed to provide a synergistic foundation in the discipline of Environmental Engineering through broad educational experiences. The program seeks to enhance the understanding of the fundamental principles of mathematics, science, and engineering by providing students with experiences in our hallmark design sequence with project-based learning activities. The program blends technical topics that focus on water, air, land, and environmental health with concepts critical to professional practice and responsibilities pertaining to environmental policy and regulations. The technical electives provide depth in technical topics including water chemistry, physicochemical processes, GIS applications, and life cycle assessment. Also supported in this program are opportunities to pursue professional licensure, roles in project management in public and private sector, and engagement in applied research.
Program Educational Objectives
Graduates of the Environmental Engineering program are expected to develop a strong foundational knowledge and professional skills essential for today’s dynamic workforce and the ever-evolving role of environmental engineers. Within a few years of graduation, graduates are expected to:
- Ability to purposefully apply the fundamental concepts of mathematics, science, technology, and mechanical engineering to solve real-life problems of societal, global, environmental, and economic consequence.
- Achieve professional success cultivating collaboration with multidisciplinary teams and constituencies through their technical knowledge, communication abilities, and leadership skills.
- Demonstrate career development as adaptive and independent professionals with an ethical responsibility to self and society that pursue opportunities in professional licensure, industry-related trainings, advanced degrees, and as liaisons that implement and comply with regulations.
