Overview
The Environmental Engineering Option is a specialization within the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering at the University of Alberta. It combines natural sciences such as chemistry, biology, and microbiology with engineering principles to address environmental and public health challenges, including environmental impact assessment, water distribution and treatment, solid waste handling and processing, landfill management, and air treatment systems. Students apply to the foundational first year of the Faculty of Engineering and choose this option after completing first year; it is not restricted to the Co-operative education stream. The option is offered by the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, which has close ties to Alberta's construction and resources industries. Graduates pursue careers as environmental engineers, working on water and wastewater systems, waste management, and environmental protection projects for public agencies and private firms.
