Environmental Engineering BSENVE



Overview

Environmental issues are paramount in our society. Issues such as energy, water resources and consumption, economic globalization, population growth, climate change, urban sprawl, water quality, solid waste, food production and distribution, and environmental degradation must be addressed to develop a sustainable society. Engineers will be needed to solve the problems associated with these issues.

The University of Georgia major in Environmental Engineering (B.S.Env.E.) provides engineering education in a liberal arts background producing graduates with the ability to integrate knowledge from several disciplines including skills to analyze and design relevant systems for solving problems. The graduates of this program have a deep background in engineering, mathematical and environmental sciences, and the ability to design systems that integrate the environment with technology. Graduates will possess the talents needed to accomplish responsible growth while addressing the requirements for maintaining and enhancing diverse ecological systems.

The following Program Educational Objectives relate to the knowledge, skills, and behaviors that UGA College of Engineering alumni with degrees in environmental engineering should demonstrate as they move through their careers as engineers and as contributing members of society: Achieve a high level of expertise to create design solutions for environmental problems that require integration of environmental and human health constraints compatible with economic growth, sustainable development and ethical standards. Establish themselves in positions of leadership in their profession and their community. Continue their education through professional licensure, certification, or pursuit of a graduate degree. The curriculum is a four-year, 130 credit hour degree program with courses in the basic sciences, the engineering sciences and design, and the social sciences and humanities.
