Minor in Environmental Engineering

24.0 quarter credits

The Environmental Engineering minor focuses on pollution control and is primarily designed to broaden the professional capabilities of engineering students. For example, chemical and mechanical engineers working in process and manufacturing plants will be provided with a better understanding of the natural context of their facilities, better equipped to perform fate and risk analyses, and better able to apply the appropriate technology to control air and water discharges.

While this minor is designed to provide technical knowledge and skills to other engineers, with the appropriate prerequisites students from disciplines other than engineering can also complete this minor.

The minor consists of 24 credits, with five core required courses and nine additional credits taken from a list of options.

Prerequisites
The common engineering core curriculum prerequisites are required of all students in the College of Engineering. Students from other colleges will need the appropriate background in physics, mathematics and thermodynamics.
