Environmental Engineering - Portland State University

Environmental Engineering from Portland State University is a Campus Bachelor Environmental Engineering degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. Whereas the Civil Engineering B.S. degree focuses on the infrastructure of society in the areas of structural, geotechnical, transportation, environmental/water resources, and project management, the B.S. degree in Environmental Engineering focuses on the fundamentals of environmental and water resources engineering with recommended tracks in geo-environmental, surface water hydrology and remote sensing, surface and groundwater water quality, groundwater hydrology, and air quality. Many of the required courses in the program are interdisciplinary drawing from the Departments of Chemistry, Mathematics and Statistics, Environmental Science, Physics, and Biology. The PSU Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering has 9 faculty and research faculty in the environmental and water resources area. Their research focuses on the natural environment ? rivers, lakes, reservoirs, estuaries, near coastal waters, and groundwater aquifers. In the last year this group had approximately $1.5 million in externally funded research. Increasing numbers of students with B.S. degrees in Civil Engineering have preferred a degree only in Environmental Engineering without wanting proficiency in the other discipline areas. Other students, such as in Environmental Science, have preferred an engineering degree that can offer them a career in environmental engineering. This new degree provides a pathway for these students to excel in an engineering program tailored to Environmental Engineering. View more details on Portland State University .
