Overview
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) offers a five-course (15 s.h.) minor in Environmental Engineering. Undergraduates from the physical sciences, mathematics and engineering are eligible to participate in this program.
The purpose of the minor is to allow students from a wide range of undergraduate majors to obtain an introductory background in sustainability, pollution prevention, environmental modeling and pollution control technologies most appropriate to their interests and major field. The Environmental Engineering minor will add considerably to students' major program skills and make them more valuable to employers. Mathematics and science majors will gain an understanding of engineering problem-solving processes and standard pollution control technologies. Engineering majors will understand the environmental effects of technologies in their major field and how to manage those effects. After the student completes the requirements for the minor, the minor will be recorded on the student's official university transcript upon graduation.
Declaration of Environmental Engineering Minor
Students who are interested in pursuing an Environmental Engineering minor should speak to their advisor in the school or college in which they are pursuing their degree. Students should formally declare the Environmental Engineering minor upon completing no more than 6 credits toward the minor. There is no penalty if the minor is not completed. For more information and to declare the minor, please contact the Center for Academic Advising and Student Affairs.
