Environmental Engineering
Environmental engineering offers study leading to engineering careers in the field of environment control. In
response to increasingly demanding human and technological needs, the
environmental engineer must be able to analyze and synthesize environment
control systems and their components through application of engineering
science and state-of-the-art practice. The curriculum
allows students to
direct their studies in the areas of air-pollution control as well as
water-pollution control and solid-waste management.
Air Pollution Contol
prepartes students
for careers with public agencies and industrial firms concerned with
air-pollution control. Emphasis is on the physical and chemical nature
of pollution, along with the surveillance, control and forecast
techniques in current practice and in development.
Water-Pollution Control and Solid-Waste Management
prepares
students for careers with governmental agencies, engineering firms and
industry concerned with liquid-waste or solid-waste management, and
with water-quality control. The studies inclde waste characteristics,
principles, and engineering of treatment processes and equipment.
