• Environmental engineers manage our environment for the benefit of humanity and nature. They provide engineering solutions to problems with our land, air and water resources. In both public and private practice, environmental engineers work in interdisciplinary teams to manage environmental problems through application of scientific, engineering, and social skills. These include issues of air pollution and control, water supply and distribution, wastewater collection and treatment, solid and hazardous waste disposal, control of hazardous substances, pollution in surface and ground-waters, public health, and the ecological health of our environment.
  • The curriculum of the program consist of basic sciences and mathematics, strengthened with engineering science fundamentals 
  • The environmental engineering degree program at OSU is one of only several in the nation and the only such separate degree program in the Pacific Northwest
  • The environmental engineering program consist of pre-engineering and professional-engineering components
