The Minor Degree Program in Environmental Engineering includes 18 credits of upper division course work, of which no more than three credit hours may be research. All students completing the Minor must take ENVE 3220 (Water Quality Engineering), ENVE 2310 (Environmental Engineering Fundamentals), CHEG 3230 (Introduction to Air Pollution), and ENVE 4310 (Environmental Modeling). These courses are selected to expose students to a wide variety of environmental topics. ENVE 2310 provides a broad-based introduction to environmental engineering and introduces fundamental concepts. ENVE 3220 and CHEG 3230 introduce students to water and air quality pollution engineering, respectively. Finally, ENVE 4310 provides students with an introduction to modeling approaches used for both natural and engineered systems. Appropriate prerequisites should be met prior to taking each required course. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of environmental engineering, six additional credit hours may be selected from a wide variety of courses (see list below) available in many departments throughout the University. The Director of the Environmental Engineering Program must approve all elective courses.
