BSc in Environmental Engineering in Davis United States | University of California Davis

Environmental engineers develop systems and infrastructure to provide communities with safe drinking water, clean air, and thriving ecosystems. They utilize principles from physics, chemistry, biology, and social sciences to solve diverse challenges. Their work encompasses water and wastewater treatment, ecosystem restoration, studying chemical behavior in natural settings, and simulating water cycle and atmospheric patterns. With climate change introducing new difficulties like droughts and severe storms, environmental engineering adapts to fulfill societal demands. As an environmental engineering student, you'll start with comprehensive foundational courses in science and mathematics, plus two introductory civil and environmental engineering classes. At the advanced level, you'll explore specialized topics through courses covering water treatment processes, chemical transport analysis in ecosystems, hydrological and atmospheric modeling, and water resource planning.
