• The Environmental Engineering program has a dual mission: to develop state-of-the-art knowledge, models, and processes that form the core of environmental engineering practice, and to train and educate current and future academic and professional environmental leaders. 
  • Stanford pursues these goals by synthesizing physical, biological, and chemical facets of engineering and science along with elements of the social sciences into our research and teaching.
  • Ultimately, the goal is to protect and sustain natural resources and human health by contributing to the sustainable development of physical infrastructure, including systems for wastewater treatment, water supply, renewable energy, and resilient coastal environments.
