Environmental
engineers provide safe, palatable and ample water supplies
and proper disposal of waste and wastewaters. They manage
solid and hazardous waste; provide adequate drainage of
urban and rural areas for sanitation; and control water
quality, soil contamination, and air pollution.
Environmental
engineering is a growing and rapidly advancing field. Courses
in the graduate certificate program help practicing professionals
keep pace and acquire new skills. The technology-based environmental
engineering studies prepare engineers for the challenges
posed by an expanding industrial base and help ensure sustainable
agricultural practices and quality municipal services.
The
curriculum
--explores the theory of environmental chemistry and biotechnology
and methodologies of environmental engineering
--applies conceptual and technical knowledge to real-world
applications and problem solving,
--describes the appropriate role of the professional and
the ethical standards in environmental engineering practice,
and
--highlights recent research in environmental engineering.
The
certificate requires completion of 12 credits of graduate
studies, four courses and a seminar. The certificate program
debuted by distance learning fall semester 2005.
The core courses are C E 520 Environmental Engineering Chemistry
and C E 521 Environmental Biotechnology. Additional courses
come from the departments of Civil, Construction and Environmental
Engineering (C E); Agriculture and Biosystems Engineering
(A E) and Chemical Engineering (Ch E). Prospective students
need a bachelor's degree or higher in an engineering discipline.
