School of Engineering, College of Engineering and Physical Sciences

The degradation of the environment is a concern shared by citizens, government agencies, non-governmental agencies and businesses. The Environmental Engineering program offered by the School of Engineering provides graduates with design and engineering skills to minimize and prevent the impact of human activities on water, soil and air systems. Both simple and innovative solutions are part of the tool box. Graduates will also creatively integrate humanistic and social perspectives in their solutions.

Restricted Electives

(see Program Guide for more information)

The Engineering Program requires Environmental Engineering students to complete the following combination of elective credits to complete their program:

• 1.00 credits from the ENVE-1 Environmental Engineering electives
• 2.00 credits from the ENVE-2 Environmental Engineering electives
• 1.50 credits from Complementary Studies electives

Consult the Program Guide for further information on the prerequisite requirements specific to each elective. Students can take a maximum of 1.50 credits at the 1000 level from the above list of electives.

Minor (Honours Program)

Students must be registered in a B.Eng degree program specialization other than Environmental Engineering to apply for a Minor in Environmental Engineering. A Minor in Environmental Engineering consists of at least 5.00 course credits. A maximum of 2.50 course credits taken as part of the Environmental Engineering Minor may also be applied toward the requirements of the B.Eng. Major specialization.
