BSE in Environmental Engineering

Environmental engineering systems are open systems and their understanding requires integration of all physical sciences (chemistry, geology, biology, plant science, physics, mathematics, etc.), as well as social sciences (social, political, economic). Environmental engineering differs fundamentally from chemical engineering the creation and operation of processes that involve the conversion of basic chemical or raw mineral material into useful products and from civil engineering the design, construction and operation of private and public works infrastructure.The interdisciplinary Environmental Engineering Program within the School of Engineering offers a B.S. degree in Environmental Engineering. The program trains professionals who can address cross-disciplinary environmental problems.
