The Major in Environmental Engineering combines diverse specialties, including geology, ecology, physics, chemistry, hydrology, biology, and public policy, among others. Graduates will apply fundamental principles of these disciplines, together with analytical, quantitative, and experimental methodologies, to identify and develop sustainable, efficient solutions for complex environmental problems.
These courses will allow students to obtain a general vision of the Major in Environmental Engineering and the areas of knowledge that are studied.
Engineering Sciences graduates with a Major in Environmental Engineering can exercise their profession in a number of areas, such as: the mining sector; sanitary companies; centers for innovation, research, and development; the public sector; and consultancies.
“The development and use of technologies to solve environmental problems is the heart of environmental engineering. This major will prepare you to design innovative solutions oriented towards addressing challenges related to energy, contamination, remediation, and the protection of human health and of natural and designed environmental systems,” Ignacio Vargas Cucurella.
