Environmental Engineering
Environmental engineering is a dynamic multidisciplinary
profession that draws on fundamentals from the biological,
physical, mathematical and social sciences, as well as the
various engineering disciplines. Environmental engineering
can be defined as the science and art of planning, designing,
constructing and managing solutions to environmental
problems. These problems are often multimedia, involving
contaminant transport through air, water and solid phases
in the environment. Furthermore, the scale of the systems
involved is enormous, ranging from global warming to
marine pollution, to treatment systems for emissions
from a specific industry, to microbial degradation processes.
Environmental engineers are involved in resource

development, allocation and management to achieve and
maintain sustainable development.
Environmental engineers must be able to analyze existing and
potential environmental problems to develop comprehensive
solutions. To meet these requirements, the environmental
engineering baccalaureate curriculum begins with the mathematical
and physical sciences common to all fields of engineering.
It also includes courses in the natural and life sciences,
which are critical to understanding the impact of development
on natural systems. Advanced courses in the program include
laboratory classes in sample collection and analysis as well
as classes in environmental control systems design.
