This program is designed for students aiming to apply engineering methods to sustain Earth's ecosystems, which provide essential resources, nourishment, and enjoyment for humanity. Environmental engineers safeguard these ecosystems, infrastructure, and the environment from human activities and natural events. They also defend environmental and public health against risks like chemicals and pathogens in drinking water. Students gain expertise in designing water treatment facilities for safe consumption, creating green infrastructure, and addressing environmental crises and pollution. Additionally, they learn to process wastes, stormwater, and wastewater for secure release back into the environment. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, students in this program develop practical solutions that enhance the sustainability and resilience of communities.
You will acquire the skills and knowledge needed to pursue a professional engineering career that supports sustainable societies. In this program, faculty members are familiar with each student personally and equip them with the resources to achieve success. Almost half of our students obtain paid research internships with faculty, while many others secure lucrative summer internships at engineering consulting firms. In 2017, 90 percent of graduates found employment or were accepted into graduate programs.
Each student must have their official high school diploma or general equivalency diploma.
