Environmental Engineering Major (B.S.)

The UNH Environmental Engineering Program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org, 415 North Charles Street, Baltimore, MD  21201 – telephone:  (410) 347-7700.  It is important that the engineering program from which you graduate is ABET-accredited because that is one of the requirements in the process of obtaining a Professional Engineering (PE) license.  An ABET-accredited engineering program is defined by its educational objectives and outcomes and its curriculum.  Program Educational Objectives describe the accomplishments a program's graduates are expected to attain within a few years of graduation. The educational objectives are unique to the program and determined by the faculty and stakeholders (e.g., employers of graduates). Student Outcomes describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation (e.g., skills, knowledge, behaviours. The Curriculum outlines the academic path that students in the program take to meet the outcomes by the time of graduation and ultimately, the objectives they accomplish after graduation.

Objectives & Outcomes

The Environmental Engineering (EnvE) Program in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of New Hampshire offers an undergraduate degree in environmental engineering that prepares students for productive careers in the public and private sectors and graduate studies.  The Program emphasizes fundamental principles in environmental engineering and design, built upon a strong base of chemistry, physics, mathematics and engineering science.  The Program prepares its students to work in multi-disciplinary teams that analyze, formulate and communicate sustainable solutions to complex environmental problems.  The importance of developing sustainable solutions that provide economic, social and environmental benefits to society is emphasized.  The Program instills in its students an appreciation of the responsibilities of engineers to society and teaches them the skills necessary to continue learning and improving their professional expertise throughout their careers.  The curricula prepare students to plan and design safe systems to minimize the impact of human activity on the environment and protect human health.

Student Code of Ethics
University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH
 

I understand that the work of environmental engineers impacts society in a variety of social, economic, and environmental ways and that professional negligence can result in the loss of property, widespread illness, damage to the environment, and the loss of human life. I understand that environmental engineering practice, therefore, requires high ethical standards that hold paramount the safety health, and welfare of the public. By signing below, I pledge the following:

I commit myself to be honest and to honor and respect the rights of others.
 
I will not plagiarize, cheat on exams, assist others in doing so, or tolerate such behavior in others.
 
I have received and read the ASCE Engineering Code of Ethics. I understand what is written therein, and pledge to uphold this Code of Ethics both as a student and as a practicing engineer.
 
I have received and read Section 9 on Academic Honesty of the document Student Rights, Rules, and Responsibilities, of the University of New Hampshire and will pursue my academic work at UNH in a straightforward and truthful manner, free from deception or fraud. Furthermore, I understand the procedures for dealing with academic misconduct and understand the consequences including the possibility of outright dismissal from UNH.
