Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Civil and Environmental Engineering] From University of Nevada

The primary focus of our environmental engineering program is water quality and water availability. However, we also offer a number of elective courses relating to air quality, solid waste management and renewable energy.

Environmental engineers apply scientific and engineering principles to preserve, restore, and sustain the natural environment while maintaining clean air, water, and land resources. For example, environmental engineers provide safe drinking water supplies, prevent pollution of the aquatic environment, study the fate and transport of contaminants, treat contaminated effluents, and restore polluted sites.
