Environmental Technology
As global awareness of environmental issues increases, the environmental sector has emerged as a leading discipline in the science and engineering fields. As the environmental market continues to grow, so does the demand for trained environmental engineers, environmental engineering technicians, and environmental scientists. The Environmental Technology minor is designed for students in complimentary disciplines to diversify their background, providing them with knowledge and skills in areas related to air, water, and soil. A minor in Environmental Technology provides students with a more in-depth understanding of environmental related standards and regulations, resource management, water and soil resources, characterization and treatment of water and soil, and field/lab techniques. The Environmental Technology minor provides a way for students to formally demonstrate competency in these areas and will make them competitive and highly sought after in today's market.
* 9 credits of minor coursework must be at the upper-division level
