Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)

The Environmental Engineering and Science Program is designed to provide DoD career professionals with relevant graduate education in the principles of environmental engineering and science. The educational objective of the environmental engineering and science program is that within a few years of program completion, graduates, who would be serving as DoD officers and career professionals, will demonstrate that they can apply the principles of environmental engineering and science (encompassing air, water, and soil media) to successfully accomplish their duties across the spectrum of DoD environmental consulting and management duties. These abilities may be validated through voluntary professional certification, as appropriate (e.g., PE, CEM, BCEEM, QEP).

Student Outcomes (SOs)
Upon graduation, students will be able to:

• Apply knowledge of mathematics through differential equations, probability and statistics, calculus-based physics, chemistry, earth science, biological science, and fluid mechanics
  
  
• Formulate material and energy balances
  
  
• Analyze the fate and transport of substances in and between air, water, and soil phases
  
  
• Conduct laboratory experiments, and analyze and interpret the resulting data in more than one major environmental engineering focus area (e.g., air, water, land, environmental health)
  
  
• Design environmental engineering systems that include considerations of risk, uncertainty, sustainability, life-cycle principles, and environmental impacts
  
  
• Demonstrate understanding of concepts of professional practice, project management, and the roles and responsibilities of public institutions and private organizations pertaining to environmental policy and regulation
  
  
• Apply advanced principles and practice relevant to the program educational objectives
