BS in Engineering Science - Environmental Engineering

Loyola University of Chicago

Environmental engineers identify, analyze and design solutions to environmental problems, which disproportionately impact historically disadvantaged communities. Addressing environmental issues, such as water and air quality, requires taking into account the underlying impacts of climate change that threaten the global community. Our students learn environmental analysis and management for the water and wastewater treatment industries.Student outcomes describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. Our students will possess:An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering and mathematics.An ability to apply engineering process to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
