Environmental engineering involves the study of clean water, clean air, waste management, and preservation of resources in ways that minimize effects on our planet.

Only engineering students may pursue this minor. Students declaring this minor must earn a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.50 in courses counted toward the minor. Students will need to complete the Environmental Engineering Minor Form and have it signed by the Environmental Engineering Minor coordinator, Dr. Ali Akanda. The form then needs to be brought to the College of Engineering Dean’s Office for formal declaration and inclusion in your student file. Students are responsible for meeting the prerequisite requirements for individual courses, as applicable.
