Technical Electives - Flexibility and Focus

Students must take a total of six credits of technical electives. These credits may be taken from any combination of focal areas. Students are provided the flexibility to focus their learning on areas of personal interest. In cooperation with a faculty advisor, students can devise course plans that focus on structural engineering (buildings, bridges), geotechnical engineering (dams, road and building foundations), transportation (roads, traffic, transit), and land development (urban redevelopment, real estate development). Besides these focus areas, students can choose a formal concentration in environmental engineering (environmental impact and remediation, water and waste water).

Environmental Engineering Concentration

Students may select four courses focusing on Environmental Engineering to earn a concentration in Environmental Engineering upon graduation. This designation will appear on the student's transcript. Students take the same courses listed for the Civil Engineering program above, but in place of the six credits of Technical Electives, the following below are required for a total of 141 credits.

Environmental engineers use the principles of biology and chemistry to develop solutions to environmental problems. They are involved in water and air pollution control, recycling, waste disposal, and public health issues. Environmental engineers conduct hazardous-waste management studies in which they evaluate the significance of the hazard, advise on its treatment and containment, and develop regulations to prevent mishaps. They design municipal water supply and industrial wastewater treatment systems, conduct research on the environmental impact of proposed construction projects, analyze scientific data, and perform quality-control checks. Environmental engineers are concerned with local and worldwide environmental issues. Some may study and attempt to minimize the effects of acid rain, global warming, automobile emissions, and ozone depletion. They also may be involved in the protection of wildlife. Many environmental engineers work as consultants, helping their clients to comply with regulations, prevent environmental damage, and clean up hazardous sites.
