Environmental engineers are responsible for designing processes and infrastructure to ensure society has access to safe water, clean air, and healthy ecosystems. Environmental engineers apply knowledge from physics, chemistry, biology and the social sciences to problems in a variety of areas including water & wastewater treatment and ecosystem remediation, analysis of chemical fate and transport in the natural environment, and modeling of hydrologic & atmospheric flows. As climate change creates new challenges, such as in the form of droughts and intense weather events, the field of environmental engineering evolves to meet society’s needs. As an environmental engineering student at UC Davis, you will gain skills that enable you to design sustainable solutions for society.
The Environmental Engineering Bachelor of Science is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET under the commission's General Criteria and Program Criteria for Environmental Engineering and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.
