Humboldt State University offers one of the largest accredited undergraduate environmental engineering programs in the United States. The Environmental Resources Engineering (ERE) program was one of the first environmental programs accredited by the ABET Environmental Engineering Guidelines and has been accredited since 1981.

As an ERE student, you will learn to apply fundamental science and engineering principles to solve complex environmental resource management problems. Four resource areas are addressed in our curriculum: water, air, land, and energy. Specific topics include water treatment, water resources planning, groundwater hydrology, renewable energy development, energy efficiency analysis, soil remediation, ecological restoration, solid waste management, indoor air quality, environmental fluid mechanics, river hydraulics, constructed wetlands design, and wastewater treatment and reuse. An interdisciplinary approach prepares students to understand and solve problems and to consider the trade-offs among social, economic, and ethical objectives.

Humboldt's ERE program will afford you the opportunity to visit and study at:

• the Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary, renowned for its natural wastewater treatment processes
• the Schatz Energy Research Center, which promotes use of clean and renewable energy
• the Campus Center for Appropriate Technology, a student-run demonstration home for sustainable living.
