Beginning in the spring semester of their third year, EVEN students begin a three course (nine (9) credit hours) sequence in environmental engineering. They will take one 3-credit “environmental engineering design” course from those in list A and two additional (6-credits) “environmental engineering upper-division technical elective” courses from list B (or a second from list A, no double counting).*
*Effective only for students graduating in December 2016 and later
List B Environmental Engineering Technical Electives (upper-division)- at least two courses from this list (or a second from list A, no double counting). Faculty can petition to add additional courses.
Air Quality Energy Conversion Solid & Hazardous Waste Management
Applied Ecology Chemical Processing Global Engineering
Students are encouraged to select courses that meet their career goals and interests. This may include courses within a similar theme, or cross-cut a breadth of environmental engineering topics. As such, this list is organized under various specialization topics within environmental engineering. Environmental engineering design courses from List A also fit under these various specialization topics.
It can be critical that early in the curriculum that students pay careful attention to pre-requisites for these technical electives. All courses that are numbered 5000 or above are graduate level courses and can only be taken with instructor permission; students should consult carefully with their advisor before selecting a graduate level course. Graduate level courses are good options for double-counting for students admitted to the BS/MS program.
