Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering (BSEVE)
The goals of the BSEVE program are to develop a broad understanding of environmental engineering, its relationship to the physical, chemical, health, and earth sciences, and its interaction with the humanities, arts, and social sciences. The comprehensive view of environmental engineering comprising the program includes treatment; health, safety, and risk assessment; pollution prevention; modeling and simulation of environmental systems; and the design and operation of engineered works. All three environmental media are addressed: air, soil, and the traditional departmental strength in water. The curriculum emphasizes the application of mathematics, basic science, computing, engineering science, and multidisciplinary thinking in environmental engineering, and seeks to foster enterprise and leadership by developing skills in oral and written communication, project management, policy development economics, and planning. The program prepares students to pursue professional engineering careers in the public, private, and not-for-profit sectors.
BSEVE Student Outcomes:
Each graduate of the BSEVE program should be able to demonstrate:
• Ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering.
• Ability to design and conduct experiments as well as to analyze and interpret data.
• Ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs.
• Ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams.
• Ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems.
• Understanding of professional and ethical responsibility.
• Ability to communicate effectively.
• Broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global/societal/economic context.
• Recognition of the need for and an ability to engage in lifelong learning.
• Knowledge of contemporary issues.
• Ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
