BEng in Environmental Engineering in Hoboken United States | Stevens Institute of Technology

Develop the expertise and understanding required to address current critical environmental challenges.

Environmental engineers devise innovative approaches to globally significant problems such as access to safe drinking water, hazardous waste management, the behavior and movement of environmental contaminants, and climate change—benefiting both humanity and the natural world.

Stevens' environmental engineering bachelor's program establishes a solid grounding in process design, employing material balance and reactor theory to combine physicochemical equilibrium principles with chemical and microbial kinetics for designing treatment systems and analyzing environmental phenomena.

The curriculum provides adaptable course options that deliver more comprehensive environmental biology coverage than many institutions, incorporating microbiology, ecology, and toxicology. Students complete their studies with a project-based, two-semester senior capstone design course centered on physicochemical and biochemical processes. You'll also enhance critical thinking abilities by performing advanced research in modern facilities like the Center for Environmental Systems.

Situated along the Hudson River shoreline, mere minutes from New York City and the Atlantic Ocean, Stevens offers an ideal setting for environmental engineering education. Collaborations with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the New Jersey Department of Transportation, and the United States Coast Guard create numerous opportunities for students to acquire practical experience and work on projects directly influencing the metropolitan waterfront area.
