The Environmental Engineering Major provides students with an interdisciplinary background in physical and life sciences, with special focus on the principles and skills needed to manage interactions between human communities and their physical environment.
Scientific knowledge gained during the first two to three years provides a solid background in physics, chemistry, and mathematics as required for engineering applications. Additional coursework during the third and fourth years focuses on principles of fluid dynamics, especially those applied to the management of water resources, waste recycling, and water desalination. This major applies a systems-based approach, while considering the interactions and interrelations of all components of environmental management systems, including the physical and ecological environment.
The curriculum is designed to provide the foundations described in the 2009 Environmental Engineering Body of Knowledge Task Force report. Graduates will be qualified for a variety of technical positions in government, industry, and non-governmental organizations involved in infrastructure planning, development, certification and improvement.
