Bachelor of Engineering in Environmental Engineering (Co-Op)

Environmental engineering requires a deep understanding of the pressures on local environments and the planet caused by human activities. Environmental engineers develop solutions to meet human needs while protecting environmental quality and natural resources for future generations. Students in our program are challenged to work towards solutions that equitably distribute opportunities and resources while ensuring that the less affluent or powerful do not suffer greater risks and harms due to environmental degradation. The program includes analysis, monitoring, design and simulation of environmental systems. It prepares graduates to: remediate contaminated sites; manage wastes to recover resources and minimize risks to human health and the environment; deliver safe drinking water; protect indoor and outdoor air quality; design products, processes and systems that minimize environmental impacts and use of water, energy and materials; and protect environmental quality to support healthy communities.
