The Environmental Engineering Bachelors Degree at the University of Northern British Columbia is designed for students passionate about addressing critical environmental challenges and creating sustainable solutions. You will develop specialized knowledge in controlling and remedying water, air, and soil pollution, learning how contaminants move through the environment and their impacts on human health. This program prepares you for significant employment opportunities where your technical expertise, problem-solving skills, and a strong awareness of environmental issues are essential for improving communities.
This undergraduate program is studied full-time on campus over four years, integrating technical writing, engineering mechanics, and surveying in your first year. You will progress through core subjects like material and energy balances, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics, alongside specialized areas such as soil mechanics and water/wastewater systems. Your final year culminates in a capstone design project, allowing you to apply your learning to real-world engineering problems and graduate prepared for professional engineering careers.
