Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering
Environmental engineers solve problems that affect us all, from clean water and air to waste treatment and climate change. In the environmental engineering program at Penn State, you'll learn how to design and improve systems that help protect people and the environment.
You'll study math, chemistry, physics, engineering design, and environmental systems. You'll put what you learn into practice through class, lab, and field work, and develop skills in problem-solving, computer modeling, teamwork, communications, and design.
Your final step will be an environmental engineering capstone design course, when you'll bring these skills together to solve a real engineering challenge.
