Environmental engineers provide the knowledge, leadership and guidance needed to improve the quality and ensure the sustainability of our natural world by working to:

• Responsibly develop water resources
• Minimize the effects of pollution
• Eliminate hazardous and solid wastes
• Restore, preserve and sustain the environment

As an environmental engineering major at Clarkson, you will benefit from close interactions and collaboration with faculty who are experts in their respective fields, and learn in state-of--the-art laboratories using high tech equipment. You'll gain valuable field experience in the nearby Adirondack Park, our six-million acre living laboratory and tackle complex, real-world problems - from air and water monitoring to waste water remediation.

Our approach also emphasizes teamwork, management, communication, leadership and creative problem solving and hands-on learning. Our excellent placement rate, extensive connections with employers and a first-rate faculty who are teachers and researchers and who include undergraduates in their research.
