This Option is for students who wish to pursue their education with an emphasis on environmental concerns, assessment of the environmental impact of new or existing products or processes, methods for solving problems resulting from pollution in the air, in the water, or in the earth, and on the management of energy and resources in order to minimize pollution in the environment. This is a Faculty option, but it will be of special interest to students in Chemical, Civil, Mechanical, and Systems Design Engineering, and includes course material related to all these disciplines.
