BA in Environmental Engineering in Eugene United States | Oregon State University

The Environmental Engineering Bachelor of Science and Honors Bachelor of Science programs hold accreditation from ABET's Engineering Accreditation Commission at http://www.ABET.org.

The ENVE curriculum builds on a solid scientific foundation and equips students for professional roles in consulting firms, industrial settings, and municipal/state agencies. This demanding program integrates civil and chemical engineering coursework with specialized studies in water/wastewater treatment, hazardous materials management, air quality control, and environmental health. Environmental engineering design principles are introduced in the first year, with comprehensive design capabilities cultivated primarily during junior and senior years. The educational experience culminates in team-based approaches to authentic, open-ended challenges that address economic factors, operational maintenance, system reliability, and practical limitations.

The undergraduate environmental engineering program achieves its student learning objectives through pertinent course material, organized collaborative activities, and practical laboratory and design exercises spanning all four academic years. The school maintains a shared core curriculum where students from all three departmental programs (CHE, BIOE, ENVE) complete common coursework in first-year engineering, materials/energy balances, thermodynamics, transport phenomena, and senior-level unit operations.
