Environmental Engineering Bachelor of Science Information

Environmental engineering systems are "open" systems and their understanding requires integration of all physical sciences (chemistry, geology, biology, plant science, physics, mathematics, etc.), as well as social sciences (social, political, economic). Environmental engineering differs fundamentally from chemical engineering - the creation and operation of processes that involve the conversion of basic chemical or raw mineral material into useful products and from civil engineering - the design, construction and operation of private and public works infrastructure.

The interdisciplinary Environmental Engineering Program within the School of Engineering offers a B.S. degree in Environmental Engineering. The program trains professionals who can address cross-disciplinary environmental problems. The nature of environmental problems often requires that the appropriate science be developed prior to the actual implementation. Students graduating with a B.S. Environmental Engineering will have the technical breadth to enter the profession immediately upon graduation.

The goal of the degree is to foster individuals who are committed to contributing to solving environmental problems, have excellent communications skills, and are life-long learners. Consider a B.S. in Environmental Engineering!
