BSc 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.

Building on a solid scientific foundation, the ENVE curriculum equips students for professional roles in consulting firms, industrial settings, and municipal agencies. This demanding program integrates coursework spanning civil and chemical engineering, water purification, wastewater management, hazardous materials handling, air quality control, and public health. Environmental engineering design principles are introduced in the first year, with comprehensive design capabilities cultivated during junior and senior years. The educational journey concludes with collaborative teams tackling authentic, open-ended challenges that incorporate economic factors, operational maintenance, system reliability, and practical limitations.

The undergraduate environmental engineering program achieves its educational goals through pertinent course material, organized group learning activities, and practical laboratory and design exercises spanning all four years. Within the school's core curriculum, students from all three programs (CHE, BIOE, ENVE) complete shared courses covering introductory engineering, materials and energy balances, thermodynamics, transport phenomena, and senior-level unit operations.
