General Information on Undergraduate Program
General Information on Undergraduate ProgramThe Department of Environmental Engineering was established in January 1973 in response to the growing concern over the environment and the need for fully qualified engineers capable of undertaking professional responsibilities for optimum development and prudent management of water, air and land resources. This department evolved from the Sanitary Engineering division of the Civil Engineering Department, which had been offering graduate courses in this field since 1967.
The Department of Environmental Engineering offers the degrees of Bachelor of Science (B.S.), Master of Science (M.S.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). The programs are designed with consideration of the modern concepts of environmental engineering education, as well as to encourage the development of individual initiative and resourcefulness with emphasis on responsibility and good judgment.
The environmental engineering undergraduate program was accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.
MISSION: The mission of the Environmental Engineering Department is to provide the high quality environmental engineering education as required by the industry and the public; to advance the understanding and application of the principles of environmental science and engineering; to enhance and maintain sustainable economic development efforts and to improve the well-being of the society in general through teaching, research and community outreach programs.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: The graduates of the B.S. program of Department of Environmental Engineering, after few years following graduation, are environmental engineering professionals who meet the following program educational objectives:
1. Graduates will identify and contribute to the solution of current and emerging environmental problems in a creative and independent manner.
2. Graduates will participate in research and technology development programs.
3. Graduates will function in diverse areas of environmental engineering practice at national and international levels.
4. Graduates will pursue leadership positions in both public and private organizations.
STUDENT OUTCOMES: The students of the B.S. program of Department of Environmental Engineering, at the time of graduation are expected to meet the following student outcomes:
*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
