Environmental Engineering, B.S.

Prepare to design sustainable solutions for water, air, and land protection while gaining real-world experience through hands-on labs, fieldwork, and industry and community engaged projects.

Program Requirements (124 Credits)

Math & Science Foundation – 34 credits
Build a strong scientific base through courses in Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, Geology, Microbiology, and Environmental Science. These courses establish the analytical and laboratory skills needed to understand natural systems and environmental processes.

Engineering Core – 11 credits
Develop essential engineering and problem-solving skills through Engineering Foundations, Thermodynamics, Statics, CAD Design, and Programming. These courses prepare students to model, analyze, and communicate engineering solutions effectively.

Environmental Engineering Focus – 38 credits
Gain technical expertise through advanced courses such as Water Chemistry, Hydrology, Environmental Toxicology, Water and Wastewater Treatment, Water Systems Design, Environmental Law and Regulation, and Air Pollution Control. These experiences build both scientific depth and regulatory understanding for professional practice.

Senior Design Sequence – 7 credits
Participate in a three-semester capstone design experience, where student teams identify, design, and implement real-world environmental engineering projects under faculty and industry mentorship.

Environmental Electives – 3 credits
Tailor your studies with specialized electives such as Environmental Sustainability, Wetland Science and Engineering, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), or Solid and Hazardous Waste Management, allowing you to explore areas aligned with your career goals.

Liberal Studies Core – 30 credits
Strengthen communication, ethical reasoning, and global perspective through courses in Communication, Ethics, Theology, Philosophy, and Global Citizenship—developing the professional and civic awareness essential for leadership in environmental engineering.
