Newest Undergraduate Degree Program Also the Fastest Growing, continued

Daniela Brandao, the program's first graduate, received her degree in December 1999, after transferring to CU-Boulder as a junior the previous year.

The Environmental Engineering Program offered its first EVEN course, "Environmental Sampling," in Spring 1999, giving students unique experience in field sampling of water and soil contamination. The course was taught by Jeremy Kohlenbrander, a CU chemical engineering alumnus and president of DRILLPRO, Inc. and KCJ Engineers and Associates. An introductory seminar for EVEN majors also was introduced by Scott Summers, a faculty member in Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering, in Fall 1999.

The remainder of the Environmental Engineering curriculum is comprised of courses offered through the departments of Aerospace Engineering Sciences, Chemical Engineering, Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering, giving students a unique and rigorous education across the disciplines that contribute to the environmental engineering field.

In addition to the required curriculum, EVEN juniors and seniors select four option courses from one of four tracks: Applied Ecology, Air Quality, Chemical Processing or Water and Wastewater. The Applied Ecology track was adopted last fall, and includes courses in Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering, and Environmental, Population and Organismic Biology. www.colorado.edu/engineering/EnvEng
