Associate in Engineering Technology - Major in Environmental Engineering Technology (ENVR)
60 Semester Hours
Students in the Environmental Engineering Technology curriculum explore the relationships between the human race and the dynamic environment in which they live and examine the effects of pollution using applied math and science skills. Students also determine strategies for effectively minimizing or preventing waste in order to reduce the impact on the environment; discuss innovative solutions to environmental issues; and look at ways to improve processes and protect people as they work with hazardous and toxic chemicals. Most importantly, students acquire skills and knowledge they can adapt to a variety of environmental, health, and safety career opportunities.
Career opportunities include health and safety manager in industry, treatment facility operator in municipalities, engineering technician, laboratory technician in environmental monitoring laboratories, and environmental quality technician for state and federal regulatory agencies.
