Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Engineering

Oregon State University - INTO USA

This program is available at the following location: The Bachelor of Science and Honors Bachelor of Science degrees in Environmental Engineering are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.ABET.org. The ENVE program draws upon a strong foundation in the basic sciences and prepares students for environmental engineering careers in consulting, industry, and state and local governments. It is a rigorous program incorporating course work in civil and chemical engineering, water and wastewater treatment, hazardous substance management, air pollution, and environmental health. The concept of environmental engineering design is introduced during the freshman year, with most of the design skills developed at the junior and senior level. Training culminates in team-based solutions to open-ended, realistic problems that incorporate aspects of economics, process operation and maintenance, process stability and reliability, and consideration of constraints. Alumni of the environmental engineering program will be work-ready engineers prepared with the knowledge and skills necessary to solve contemporary environmental engineering problems. The environmental engineering undergraduate curriculum is designed to meet the student objectives through relevant course content, structured collaborative learning experiences, and hands-on laboratory and design experiences in the first year through senior levels. The school has a core curriculum where students from all three programs housed within the school (CHE, BIOE, ENVE) take common courses in the areas of first-year engineering, materials and energy balances, thermodynamics, transport phenomena, and senior year unit operations. Environmental engineering students have opportunities to obtain internships offered through the School of CBEE, and through the College of Engineering Multiple Engineering Cooperative Program (MECOP). Many scholarships are available on a competitive basis for environmental engineering undergraduate students. More detailed descriptions of the curriculum and requirements are available on our website. Major Code: 311
