专业概况

在这里学什么？

Environmental engineers use their expertise to improve human health, the environment and quality of life. For example, environmental engineers may help purify drinking water, prevent water pollution or develop strategies to manage toxic or hazardous waste.

The primary focus of our environmental engineering program is water quality and water availability. However, we also offer a number of elective courses relating to air quality, solid waste management and renewable energy.

Successful engineering students arrive at the University with a strong background in math and science. We recommend students have taken physics and chemistry courses in high school and are prepared to take calculus as freshmen.

Our program teaches students to apply basic science and engineering principles to solve environmental problems. The curriculum prepares students for the responsible and sustainable management of natural resources.

Graduates of the bachelor's degree in environmental engineering should be able to:

• Apply their engineering knowledge and problem-solving skills in a professional environment
• Understand and design environmental engineering systems
• Work in multidisciplinary teams
• Continue their education through graduate studies or ongoing professional development hours
• Contribute to society at large through an understanding of and ability to communicate technical, social, environmental and ethical issues
• Be aware of contemporary issues and engage in life-long learning

The environmental engineering degree program requires coursework in four main areas:

• University core curriculum requirements
• Basic sciences, including biology, chemistry, math and physics
• Engineering science and design
• Technical electives

Students are required to take two capstone classes during the senior year. Capstone courses give you an opportunity to apply the knowledge you've gained during your degree program toward realistic engineering design problems.

Career Options

Environmental engineers can enjoy a range of career paths and work environments. They may work in an office setting, collaborating with planners and other engineers to develop new projects. They may consult with businesses or lawyers, providing expertise on environmental impact, or they may work outdoors analyzing samples or doing quality control.

Environmental engineers face strong demand for their skills on the job market, nationwide, as concerns about water use, climate change and pollution are on the rise. With accelerating population growth and limited resources, environmental engineers are taking a more prominent role, with issues surrounding water quality and water availability at the forefront.
