Program structure
The Rensselaer bachelor’s program in environmental
engineering builds upon a broad base of studies in chemistry, life sciences,
and engineering sciences culminating in a uniquely structured course sequence.
This sequence of courses, as shown below, is designed around the unit
operations and transport processes concepts, together with integrated
laboratory theory courses. It culminates in senior design courses. This
structure presents a unified educational experience in environmental engineering.
A minimum of 128 credit hours is required for this curriculum.

- 1. May be taken in any order in the first two semesters. ENGR-1300 or ENGR-1310 may be replaced with CIVL-2961.
- Special Section for Environmental Engineering students.
- May be replaced by ENGR-2250.
- Elective must be an engineering course with design content (e.g., ENVE-4200, ENVE-4240, ENVE-4210, ENVE-4110). Courses are selected in consultation with the program adviser. With adviser approval, courses from other disciplines may also be taken. These include Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Earth and Environmental Sciences (for example, CIVL-2630, CIVL-4150, ERTH-4710 and others).
- Multidisciplinary engineering elective: Must be an engineering course, chosen in consultation with the adviser (e.g., ENGR-4750, ENGR-4760, CIVL-2030, CIVL-2630, DSES-4260, ENGR-2530, ENGR-2830).
- This course will be fulfilled from a published list at the start of each semester and can be taken either semester.
- Can be taken either semester of the senior year.
Total Credits: 128
Concentrations
In consultation with the program adviser, students may choose from four
areas of concentration, emphasizing water quality control, air resources,
environmental systems, and solid and hazardous wastes.
