BS — Environmental Engineering

• Environmental engineers
  
  • identify and design solutions for problems involving the environment.
    
  • provide safe drinking water, treat and properly dispose of wastes, maintain air quality, control water pollution, and remediate sites contaminated due to spills or improper disposal of hazardous substances.
    
  • monitor the quality of the air, water, and land, and develop new and improved means to protect the environment.
  • possess the scientific and technical knowledge to identify, design, build, and operate systems that make modern society possible.
• Many people are concerned about the state of our environment. Environmental engineers actually work to protect it from damage and to correct existing problems.
• Environmental engineering is a multi-disciplinary field, which involves:
  
  • traditional engineering components such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering design.
  • other disciplines, such as biology, microbiology, ecology, public health, geology, meteorology, economics, political science, and computer science.
    
• Environmental engineers have to be broadly educated and  technically trained to address the spectrum of issues facing the environment.

• B.S. in Environmental Engineering
• B.S. in Civil Engineering - Environmental Engineering

These programs have unique characteristics providing specific career directions. Both programs provide the necessary background for the pursuit of graduate studies and advanced research.
