U-ENVE-BSE - Environmental Engineering (BSE)

The major requirements for environmental engineering (EnvE) are included in the minimum of 34.0 course credits listed under general requirements and departmental requirements.

Meeting the departmental requirements together with the four engineering and applied science courses from the general requirements requires that the following courses must be included. All majors must take Engineering 101L, 201L, and 244L; Civil and Environmental Engineering 132L, 301L, 461L, 462L, 463L, 469, 560; and Statistical Science 130. All majors must take Engineering 305 or Civil and Environmental Engineering 201L. All majors must take an approved earth science course. All majors must take an approved thermodynamics course. All majors must take two approved upper-level environmental courses. All majors have two unrestricted electives. Approved earth science electives are Earth and Climate/Ocean Sciences 101, 102, 201L, 202, 315, 323, and Civil and Environmental Engineering 666. Approved thermodynamics courses are Mechanical Engineering 331L. Approved upper-level environmental electives are Chemistry 201DL, 202L; Biomedical Engineering 307; Civil and Environmental Engineering 315-60, 563, 564, 566, 661L, 666, 667,  683, 684, 686; Engineering 424L; and Environment 535.

Toward fulfilling the general requirements, the following elective options must be selected from the following courses. The natural science requirement is satisfied by completing an approved biology course. Approved Biology courses are 201L, 202L, 212L, and 275A. At least one of the five courses used to satisfy the humanities and social sciences requirement, or an approved alternate course, must possess an ethical inquiry (EI) code.
