The ENVE program draws upon a strong foundation in the basic sciences and prepares students for environmental engineering careers in consulting, industry, and state and local governments. It is a rigorous program incorporating course work in civil and chemical engineering, water and wastewater treatment, hazardous substance management, air pollution, and environmental health. The concept of environmental engineering design is introduced during the freshman year, with most of the design skills developed at the junior and senior level. Training culminates in a team approach to the solution of open-ended, realistic problems that incorporate aspects of economics, process operation and maintenance, process stability and reliability, and consideration of constraints. Program Educational Objectives Alumni of the environmental engineering program will be work-ready engineers prepared with the knowledge and skills necessary to solve contemporary environmental engineering problems. Within a few years of graduation, environmental engineering alumni will have: Gained employment in the field of environmental engineering or matriculated in an environmental engineering or related graduate or professional program; Created value by analyzing and designing sustainable solutions to problems involving pollution abatement and prevention in water, air and soil; Successfully communicated or defended designs and decisions through reference to fundamental concepts of math, science, and engineering; Facilitated collaboration and built strong professional relationships by working successfully in multi-disciplinary teams and effectively communicating with a diverse group of stakeholders; Actively participated in professional development activities that demonstrate a commitment to sound professional and ethical practices, and the protection of human health and the environment; and Achieved Engineer in Training (EIT) certification by passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam and gained experience relevant for professional licensure. Student Outcomes The graduates of the OSU Environmental Engineering Program must demonstrate that they have: An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering; An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data; an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety manufacturability, and sustainability. An ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams; An ability to identify, formulates, and solves engineering problems; An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility; An ability to communicate effectively; The broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context; Recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning; Knowledge of contemporary issues; An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice;
