• Rapidly developing technology and an increasing population is creating growing concerns for the impact of human activity on the environment. Environmental engineering is a discipline that addresses these concerns by seeking engineered solutions to environmental problems. These problems are frequently very complex and require a multidisciplinary approach.
  • Students study the major challenges confronting environmental engineers including solid waste management, air pollution, water quality, water supply, wastewater treatment, hazardous waste, and public hygiene. The degree combines mathematics, physical and life sciences, and engineering sciences, and design in presenting approaches to meeting these challenges.
