Environmental Engineering - South Dakota School of Mines and Technology

Environmental Engineering from South Dakota School of Mines and Technology is a Campus Bachelor Environmental Engineering degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. Environmental engineers serve our society at the most fundamental level in caring for the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the soil in which we grow our food. Environmental engineers solve existing and prevent future environmental problems. Students in the B.S. Environmental Engineering program will be educated in higher mathematics, basic sciences, engineering sciences, and engineering design. The experience will be augmented by applied laboratory courses at the freshman through senior levels. Students will use computers in virtually all engineering coursework. Fundamental environmental engineering coursework will involve heat and mass transfer, classical and chemical thermodynamics, ground-water and surface-water hydrology, and environmental systems analysis. Each student will participate in a two-semester capstone design experience that will involve work with a multidisciplinary team on the solution to a significant environmental problem. Achieving program educational outcomes will prepare the graduate to work in industry, consulting, or government, and to bring knowledge and principles to bear upon the solution to legacy and current as well as to the prevention of future environmental problems. In order to develop a technical link with one of five disciplines closely related to environmental engineering, each student will complete a nine-credit elective set delivered by one of five supporting programs. This coursework prepares the student to cooperatively work alongside engineers of the supporting discipline in solution of environmental problems.
