Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering The environmental engineering curriculum is designed to support the program's mission and educational objectives. This curriculum offers a sound background in the fundamentals of mathematics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and mass transfer. In addition, upper division courses cover important environmental engineering design topics as well as introductory civil engineering topics like water resources and geotechnical engineering. A primary focus of the undergraduate environmental engineering program is to prepare graduates for professional practice. Thus, Cal Poly's "learn by doing" philosophy is emphasized and design is integrated throughout the curriculum. Environmental engineering students are provided with many opportunities to work in well-equipped, state-of-the-art laboratories. Also, these students are required to take a two-quarter senior design capstone course. In this course, students demonstrate their understanding of essential engineering skills as well as their ability to solve practical, real-world design problems. more..... |
