Chemical Engineering with an Environmental Engineering Concentration
The Coulter School of Engineering offers a professional concentration in Environmental Engineering. The professional concentration enables students to satisfy the accreditation requirements of a chemical engineering degree while focusing their electives in environmental engineering. Electives used to satisfy requirements of the concentration include a set of science and engineering courses that reflect the sub disciplines of Environmental Engineering as defined by the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET). Students receive a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering with a professional concentration in Environmental Engineering.
Here is a sample curriculum for this concentration:
