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 grounding in fundamental sciences, equipping graduates for professional roles in consulting firms, industrial settings, and municipal/state agencies. This demanding program integrates coursework spanning civil and chemical engineering, water/wastewater treatment, hazardous materials management, 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 team-based approaches to authentic, open-ended challenges that integrate economic factors, operational maintenance, system reliability, and practical limitations.
The undergraduate environmental engineering program achieves its educational goals through meaningful course material, organized collaborative learning opportunities, and practical laboratory and design exercises spanning all four years. The school maintains a shared core curriculum where students from all three departmental programs (CHE, BIOE, ENVE) complete common courses in first-year engineering, mass/energy balances, thermodynamics, transport phenomena, and senior-level unit operations.
