5-Year Bachelor of Civil Engineering - Master of Environmental Engineering (BCE-MEnvE)

Description

The College of Engineering & Science offers a combined Bachelor of Civil Engineering - Master of Environmental Engineering program. High school students can be admitted directly into this accelerated program.

Environmental engineers use the principles of biology and chemistry to develop solutions to environmental problems. They are involved in water and air pollution control, recycling, waste disposal, and public health issues. Environmental engineers conduct hazardous-waste management studies in which they evaluate the significance of the hazard, advise on its treatment and containment, and develop regulations to prevent mishaps. They design municipal water supply and industrial wastewater treatment systems, conduct research on the environmental impact of proposed construction projects, analyze scientific data, and perform quality-control checks. Environmental engineers are concerned with local and worldwide environmental issues. Some may study and attempt to minimize the effects of acid rain, global warming, automobile emissions, and ozone depletion. They also may be involved in the protection of wildlife. Many environmental engineers work as consultants, helping their clients to comply with regulations, prevent environmental damage, and clean up hazardous sites.

In order to complete both the BCE and MEnvE degrees in five years, the student must (a) be very well prepared as an incoming freshman, ready to take our core engineering courses, (b) satisfy all the admission criteria (see below), and (c) maintain a 3.25 GPA, in order to take graduate level courses while still an undergraduate.
