The Environmental Engineering Bachelors Degree at the University of Northern British Columbia is designed for aspiring engineers who are passionate about addressing critical environmental challenges. You will gain a comprehensive understanding of the interactions between air, land, water, and living systems, preparing you to develop innovative solutions for issues like water pollution, waste management, and climate change mitigation. This program is ideal for students seeking to integrate technical engineering expertise with a strong awareness of environmental sustainability and its impact on future development decisions.
This unique joint program is studied full-time on campus over 54 months, involving semesters at both the University of Northern British Columbia and the University of British Columbia. You will develop specialized knowledge in designing water and wastewater treatment systems, air pollution control technologies, and sustainable engineering practices. Through hands-on projects, including an integrated design project and laboratory work, you will build practical skills. You will graduate with Bachelor of Applied Science degrees from both institutions, equipped with the academic qualifications to pursue professional engineer licensure.
