Program Overview

The environmental engineering technology (EVT) curriculum may be pursued on either a full-time or part-time basis with day and evening classes available. Students typically start fall semester, but may enter the program at any point during the academic calendar. Part-time students may pursue the degree at a rate they desire; however, a minimum of 6 hours of course work each semester is recommended. Students completing the degree requirements will earn an Associate of Applied Science degree in environmental engineering technology.

Program Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the program:

Students will be able to analyze and model environmental systems by applying mathematics, basic science, technology, and engineering.
Students will be able to analyze and interpret data for problem‐solving.
Students will be able to design and realize an environmental system or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints, such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health.
Students will be able to analyze the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and social context.
Students will be able to communicate and collaborate effectively with other professionals in the field.
Students will be able to recognize the need to be knowledgeable of contemporary issues and modern innovations.
Students will be able to work professionally in the areas of environmental systems and environmental health and safety systems.
