Course Details

Civil Engineering (Environmental Engineering)

Course Description

Civil engineering majors have three choices within the accredited BSE program: civil engineering civil engineering with environmental engineering concentration civil engineering with sustainable engineering concentration The first choice allows students to choose among design and technical elective courses in their senior year. The other choices specify design and technical courses to students with minimal choices. Regardless of choice, the Bachelor of Science Education in civil engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org/. The bachelor's in civil engineering, with a concentration in environmental engineering, is a multidisciplinary field based on traditional civil engineering principles, chemistry, biology and geology. Environmental engineers are involved with: air pollution technology analysis of the fate and transport of pollutants application of sustainable practices in all areas of urban infrastructure construction of hazardous waste containment systems design and operation of water and wastewater treatment systems remediation of contaminated soils and waters surface water quality management water conservation and reuse The curriculum also exposes students to other traditional civil engineering areas.
