Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering (B.S.Env.E.)
The four-year degree program in Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering (BSEnvE) provides students with the knowledge, skills and laboratory experiences needed to compete successfully in the high-tech sector of the job market, succeed in design and production occupations in the environmental sector, and contribute to society. The environmental engineering major provides both breadth and depth across the range of engineering topics in analysis and design of waste management facilities.
The BSEnvE program has established the following objectives for the accomplishments of our graduates in the first several years following graduation. They will:
- have the technical knowledge and capabilities expected of a practicing engineer,
- be able to apply engineering knowledge and be able to develop and evaluate alternative designs,
- be able to use modern engineering tools for analysis, design, and communication,
- have an ability to maintain professional competence through life-long learning, and
- be able to delineate problems of society that require engineering treatments and provide practical and ethical solutions to the problems.
