| The Environmental Industry is one of the fastest growing sectors of the economy. The industry needs a supply of skilled technical people to meet the challenges of the 21st century by reducing environmental pollution and maintaining the well-being of ecosystems. Students of the Environmental Engineering Technology program will receive multidisciplinary training in chemical, biological, and soil science and apply these skills using engineering principles for the protection and improvement of public health and the environment, including air, water, land resources, and sustainable development.
Environmental Engineering Technology graduates have advanced skills in the use of environmental sampling, monitoring & testing, data analysis, and information technology tools. They have the ability to manage environmental projects from planning through to implementation and the maintenance phase. They have applied knowledge of health, safety and environmental requirements and can contribute to risk assessment and environmental systems management.
