Students typically start with foundational classes and labs in chemistry, physics and calculus, then quickly move on to specific courses in the major such as sustainability and environmental engineering fundamentals. In their junior and senior years, students get more in-depth training in topics such as modeling pollutant movement, treating contaminated water and air, and environmental monitoring. Students will also be able to choose lots of electives, so they can follow their interests and check out topics like hydraulic engineering and brownfield restoration—or take classes in a related technical field.
