Undergraduate Catalog
Environmental Engineering (ENE)
Engineering Home | History & Overview | Policies/Procedures | Degree Requirements | Programs | Organizations
Environmental engineering applies engineering and scientific principles to protect and preserve human health and the environment. It embraces broad environmental concerns, including air and water quality, solid and hazardous wastes, groundwater protection and remediation, water resources and management, environment policy, radiological health, environmental biology and chemistry, systems ecology, water and wastewater treatment and wetlands ecology.
Qualified students are encouraged to undertake masters and doctoral studies to broaden their preparation for employment.
Students with pre-medical interests can satisfy admission requirements for medical school with this program and a judicious selection of electives; however, total credits will exceed 128. Pre-med students must work with an adviser. Students from other departments can take courses in environmental engineering sciences, if they have taken the prerequisites.
Mission
The department is committed to providing quality educational programs in environmental science and engineering. It will conduct a nationally recognized environmental research program to contribute substantially to the benefit Florida, the nation and the earth. The department also will provide authoritative guidance to individuals and organizations that prevent and solve local, state, national and global environmental problems.
Educational Objectives
- To instill in students a desire to learn and apply their knowledge and skills to prevent and solve environmental problems,
- To provide students with educational experiences in science, analysis and design, and in social and cultural studies to prepare them for productive careers in environmental engineering and other professions,
- To provide students with educational experiences that will enable them to work effectively with other professionals and to communicate their ideas clearly and concisely.
