Environmental Engineering Technology
Associate Degree Program
As our fragile environment continues to degrade, sustainable resources are disappearing, biodiversity is decreasing, public health is being impacted, and there is an increase in the overall amount of environmental concerns that need to be addressed. With such a large impact base of industries, including construction, water, wastewater, transportation, recreation, chemical, and manufacturing, there is a need for environmental engineering technicians. The Associate in Applied Science degree in Environmental Engineering Technology provides students with knowledge and skills in the general and technical aspects of preventing, assessing, and managing environmental issues.
Students in this program master common practice environmental procedures such as sampling, assessment, design, result recording, and analysis. They gain valuable knowledge through a learn-by-doing approach to environmental problem solving using state-of-the-art field, laboratory, and computer program equipment.
This program is offered at the Stanton campus.
