Environmental Engineering


Civil Engineering undergraduate students in the Environmental Engineering Concentration gain a solid civil engineering foundation through a wide array of courses, and then focus on elective courses to individualize the program and best suit their career goals.

The Concentration offers undergraduate courses in both environmental engineering topics. Students are encouraged to combine the environmental program with associated programs in geo-technical and water resources engineering, civil, and applied mechanics, (for example, flow of pollutants through porous media, stability of dams, canals and culverts, finite element modeling of fluid-structure interactions). Graduates of the environmental program have found opportunities with consulting firms and public agencies as well as in research and academia.
