Bachelor of Environmental Engineering (Honors) in Newark United States | University of Delaware

Environmental engineering utilizes scientific methods and engineering techniques to enhance ecosystems, combat pollution, and promote sustainable practices.

These professionals safeguard and rehabilitate our planet's land, water, and atmospheric resources. The comprehensive academic program equips students with essential skills to implement scientific concepts in both natural and constructed environments, enabling them to ensure clean drinking water, handle waste materials, remediate polluted sites, and mitigate environmental hazards. The coursework examines contaminant origins and behaviors while teaching practical problem-solving for environmental issues. Students gain adaptable career preparation through specialized electives that align with professional aspirations, advanced studies, or complementary minors in sustainability, energy, policy, or similar disciplines.

Our research-active faculty, engaged with professional organizations, keep the curriculum cutting-edge and academically rigorous. Hands-on learning is incorporated through contemporary issue discussions, project-based coursework tackling modern environmental concerns, and undergraduate research involvement. Approximately 30% of environmental engineering undergraduates work as paid research assistants, with most juniors and seniors participating - though research opportunities often begin earlier in students' academic journeys.
