The Environmental Engineering degree is founded upon a strong background in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, engineering fundamentals, as well as economics and the humanities and social sciences - a background that will support changing career requirements, challenges, and the pursuit of life long learning. The Environmental Engineering curriculum integrates an engineering design componen
t from the freshman year to the senior year. All courses in the Environmental Engineering curriculum are taught by faculty with strong academic backgrounds and industry or government experience. Department facilities for laboratory studies and computer applications are excellent, with state-of-art computer equipment and software available to all students beginning with their freshman year. Montana Tech campus is situated in the heart of Montana’s mining activity and the area’s diverse and challenging environmental issues that stimulate field instruction and research. Opportunities appear excellent for future graduates because of continued national and international emphasis upon air and water, the cleaning up of hazardous wastes, and the prevention of detrimental impact on land use. Co-op Education assignments and scholarships are available to majors on a competitive basis. Internships and summer jobs are excellent mechanisms to receive additional practical experience.
