- Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering
Civil engineering focuses on both the built and natural environment through the design of:
- Commercial and industrial facilities
- Transportations systems
- Systems for the protection and use of air, water, land and ecological resources
Architectural engineering deals with the design of the systems of a building:
- Structural systems to transmit forces to the ground
- Systems for efficient energy use
- Heating, cooling systems and air quality
- Construction systems and methods
Environmental engineering deals with the protection of the natural environment and human health as influenced by the environment:
- Air quality
- Water quality
- Water resources
- Sustainable energy
- Contaminant process engineering
