The Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering and Environmental Engineering provides expertise in addressing a variety of environmental challenges built on fundamentals in engineering, chemical, biological, and ecological principles. The coursework is designed to prepare students to tackle interconnected challenges in water, energy, air quality, and related fields, through chemical engineering skills in the engineering and control of processes involving chemicals that impact our environment, exploring ways to reduce acid rain and smog; to recycle and reduce wastes; to develop new sources of environmentally clean energy; and to design inherently safe, efficient, and “green” processes.
Complete all courses listed below unless otherwise indicated. Also complete any corequisite labs, recitations, clinicals, or tools courses where specified and complete any additional courses needed beyond specific college and major requirements to satisfy graduation credit requirements.
