BSc in Environmental Engineering in Providence United States | Brown University

Environmental engineers apply engineering, mathematics, biology, and chemistry principles to create and execute solutions that safeguard human health and ecosystems from pollution's harmful effects. Their responsibilities encompass treating water and wastewater, managing air pollution, restoring soil and groundwater, conducting site evaluations and risk analyses, performing life cycle assessments, and addressing climate change.
In 2013, the School of Engineering launched the environmental engineering concentration to meet increasing field significance and student demand. The program features an interdisciplinary engineering foundation (13 courses) covering engineering, mathematics, biology, and chemistry, supplemented by advanced geology, biology, and environmental engineering classes. Students pursuing this concentration choose four upper-level environmental engineering electives aligned with their specialized focus areas.
