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, water, or 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. The Environmental Engineering Option is not available to Environmental Engineering students.
The Option consists of a set of seven courses chosen from four theme areas, as described below. Substitution of equivalent courses, if applicable, requires the approval of the option co-ordinator.
The courses are:
List A - Environmental Issues and Management
May count towards Complementary Studies Elective (CSE) requirements (check with CSE lists and your plan requirements). Take two from
