Environmental Engineering (EVET)
Environmental Engineering Technology (EVET)
Environmental issues affect our health and our communities, as well as the sustainability of future generations and the earth itself. Environmental concerns directly affect the operations of all types of industries, including parks and forest services, transportation, chemical facilities, defense and energy, construction, and, of course, environmental services. Graduates of the Environmental Engineering Technology program enter positions in a wide range of industries, environmental restoration sites, government agencies, laboratories, consulting firms, and conservation districts. All curriculum courses, except cooperative education courses, meet Ohio Environmental Protection Agency requirements for license renewal (U.S. EPA External Provider).
The Environmental Engineering Technology program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012, phone: (410) 347-7700.
Environmental Engineering Technology—Water and Wastewater Major (EVETW)
The Water and Wastewater major emphasizes water and wastewater treatment, and the operation and design of water and wastewater treatment facilities. Courses focus on biological, physical, and chemical treatment processes; collection and distribution systems; calculations for water and wastewater personnel, safety, and statistics; and quality assurance and control.
Graduates of the Environmental Engineering Technology—Water and Wastewater major program work at municipal water and wastewater treatment plants; industrial wastewater treatment facilities; federal, state, and local government agencies; private civil and environmental engineering consulting firms; and water and wastewater analytical labs. All curriculum courses, except cooperative education courses, meet Ohio Environmental Protection Agency requirements for license renewal (U.S. EPA External Provider).
The Environmental Engineering Technology—Water and Wastewater major is a pathway to the Environmental Engineering Technology degree accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012, phone (410) 347-7700.
Environmental Engineering Technology—Stormwater Management Major (EVETS)
The Environmental Engineering Technology—Stormwater major prepares students to apply emerging technologies related to stormwater control. As water quality regulations become more stringent, environmental engineers must gain knowledge of stormwater management practices, including methods for targeting specific pollutants of concern in order to maximize overall benefits to the watershed of interest. Courses focus on environmental mapping, watershed management, stormwater management technologies, and restoration ecology. The program also stresses effective application of various stormwater management practices.
