TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

The teaching philosophy of the program is congruent with the notion that Universities should be centers of excellence conducive to the development of strategic analysts . To develop strategic analysts, the environment must promote teaching that refines four basic skills: capacity for abstraction, systems thinking, experimentation, and collaboration. The Environmental Engineering curriculum fully integrates opportunities for experimentation, extensive exposure to research, team collaboration and communication skills.

To ensure that environmental engineers are ready for the imminent challenges placed upon them, they must have the utmost technical competency, move confidently and knowledgeably in a non-technical sphere, have the skills of a strategic analyst, and possess the attributes of a life-long learner. The goal of the Environmental Engineering Program at the University of Connecticut is to foster these individuals.
