Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Environmental Engineering] From Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

The Environmental Engineering course sequence addresses environmental issues associated with air, land, and water systems and associated environmental health impacts; integrated laboratory experiences prepare students to design experiments and critically analyze and interpret data. Engineering topics treated at an advanced level include water purification, chemical fate and transport, air quality, hydrology and hydraulics. Design experiences are integrated throughout the curriculum, culminating in the capstone Environmental Process Design course. A minimum of 128 credit hours is required for this curriculum.

The Environmental Engineering program is designed to prepare students for continued learning and successful careers in industry, government, academia, and consulting. Within a few years of graduation, graduates of the Bachelor of Science program in environmental engineering are expected to:

Contribute to the body of knowledge in Environmental Engineering as professionals engaged in problem-solving, design, discovery, and responsible application of technology;

Further develop leadership skills by accepting increasing levels of responsibility in engineering practice, communicating in professional and civic forums, and progressing toward professional licensure;

Continue to develop both professionally and personally through graduate study, participation in professional societies, continuing education, and community service
