Overview

The Environmental Engineering programme at the University of Northern British Columbia provides a rigorous academic foundation for students aiming to solve complex ecological challenges. This joint degree allows students to benefit from the expertise of two leading institutions while focusing on the protection of natural environments and human health.

Key facts

The curriculum is specifically designed to address the needs of resource-rich regions, particularly in northern British Columbia. Students explore the integration of basic sciences with modern engineering practices to manage air, soil, and water pollution. The course structure involves nine academic semesters, with the initial two years spent at the Prince George campus before transitioning for further specialised study.

Students gain access to exceptional facilities, including the Hydrology Lab and the Engineering Materials Lab. These spaces allow for the practical study of fluid mechanics, hydrostatic forces, and kinematics of flow. The university’s location provides a unique vantage point for studying the impact of forestry, mining, and energy sectors on the environment.

The partnership with the University of British Columbia offers a distinctive teaching feature where students experience different academic environments. This collaboration enhances the breadth of the degree, covering everything from drinking water delivery in northern communities to contaminated site remediation. Optional co-operative work terms are also available to provide valuable industry experience.
