Environmental Engineering Program

Develop solutions for a sustainable future

A rapidly growing discipline within the engineering profession, environmental engineers develop solutions to environmental problems – from ensuring our drinking water is clean to remediation of environmental hazards. You'll learn various approaches to environment-based design, waste management, water and soil quality, energy conservation and renewables, and air quality.

Your first year of study

All first-year students will complete the core engineering program and you will apply to the Environmental Engineering discipline in your second year.

Co-op and non co-op options

You may choose to complete the five-year co-op program or the four-year non co-op program.

Co-op students take the same academic program as the non co-op program; however, our co-op option gives you an opportunity to complement your studies with three paid work terms.

Learn more about each option:

Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) in Environmental Engineering - Co-op Program (5 years)

Our Bachelor of Engineering Co-operative Education program integrates academic study with university-approved work experience. Graduation from this program requires satisfactory performance in both areas.

As a co-op student, you will complement your studies with three paid work terms. Work terms begin in your third year and typically last four months.
