Environmental Engineering
Environmental Engineering Curriculum
The Environmental Engineering program will be available to students entering the CEEES department with sophomore status in the Fall of 2013 and future years. The Environmental Engineering program at Notre Dame will be seeking accreditation by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org. It is a unique program that prepares students to look at all aspects of water and environmental problems from a range of perspectives including the Earth system, water movement (hydrology, fluid flow), environmental chemistry, geochemistry, and reactive transport. The Environmental Engineering degree program will prepare students to understand the necessary foundational chemistry, fluid flow and mixing mechanics, all within the context of the Earth system.
