Environmental Engineering

专业介绍

The Sc.B. program in Environmental Engineering provides students with the tools to develop sustainable solutions to complicated environmental problems and design real-world solutions that consider risk, sustainability, life-cycle principles, and environmental impacts.

Environmental engineers use the principles of engineering, mathematics, biology and chemistry to develop and implement engineering solutions to protect human health and the environment from the adverse impacts of environmental pollution. Their work includes water and wastewater treatment, air pollution control, soil and groundwater remediation, site characterization and risk assessment, life cycle assessment, and climate change mitigation.

Student Goals

Students in this concentration will:

• Acquire knowledge and skill sets to master contaminant mass balance, transport, reactivity, and its removal from the environment
• Conduct design projects, computational assignments, and hands-on laboratory experiments covering environmental processes in air, water, and soil systems
• Complete a final capstone design project for an environmental engineering system that includes contaminant risk assessment, sustainability, life-cycle principles, pollution environmental impacts and remediation
