Program Learning Outcomes (Student Outcomes) for the BSEnvE Degree

Upon completing the BSEnvE degree, students will be able to demonstrate:

  • An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
  • An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
  • An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
  • An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
  • An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
  • An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
  • An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

Program Educational Objectives for the BSEnvE Degree:

Within 3 to 5 years of graduation, graduates with a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering (BSEnvE) degree are expected to attain the following Program Educational Objectives (PEOs):

  • Excel in problem-solving and communication skills.
  • Achieve leadership positions in technical or managerial areas.
  • Demonstrate initiative and innovation in professional endeavors.
  • Demonstrate engagement in addressing ethical, social, environmental, and global concerns.
  • Remain engaged in continuing learning, including advanced degrees.

Students pursuing the BSEnvE degree must complete:

  • A minimum of 33 courses (91-92 credit hours, depending on course selection) to satisfy major requirements.
  • A minimum of 124 credit hours to satisfy degree requirements.
  • A minimum of 19 courses (50 credit hours) taken at the 300-level or above.
  • The requirements for one area of specialization (see below for areas of specialization). When students declare the major in Environmental Engineering (associated with the BSEnvE degree), students must additionally identify and declare one of four areas of specialization, either in:
    • Area I - Sustainable Water: Environmental chemistry, environmental restoration, smart materials, fate and transport of contaminants, sustainable water treatment, environmental microbiology, or
    • Area II - Air, Climate, and Energy: Watershed and aquifer management, flood prediction, data analysis, GIS, and hydrologic modeling, or
    • Area III - Resilient Infrastructure, Disasters, and Risk: Climate risk management, systems reliability, transportation systems, hydrogeology, infrastructure resilience, or
    • Area IV - Environmental Management: Environmental law, engineering economics, engineering leadership, ethics, and project management.
  • A minimum of 14 courses (36 credit hours) from the General Math and Science courses.
  • A minimum of 10 courses (25 credit hours) from the Core Requirements.
