Environmental Science and Engineering

The small class sizes ensure you will receive personalized attention from instructors and advisors. My advisor, Dr. Kasaraneni, helped me find an internship at Erie Water Works where I worked for 8 months preceding graduation. I only applied to one job after graduating as a Water/Wastewater Engineer with Burgress & Niple, Inc., where I was promptly hired. I am so grateful for my advisor and 名媛直播 for getting me here.
