Overview

Highlights

The Environmental Engineering program at Southern Methodist University prepares graduates to achieve the following educational objectives during the first 5 to 15 years of their professional careers:

Be entrusted by society to create a sustainable and resilient world and enhance the global quality of life through the practice of environmental engineering.

Serve others competently, collaboratively, and ethically as either engineering designers, managers, or leaders in the public or private sectors.

Demonstrate mastery and leadership as builders, planners, environmental stewards, innovators, and advocates for public health, safety, and welfare.

Obtain licensing as professional engineers.

The environmental engineering program prepares graduates for professional practice and advanced study through a focus in the following areas: 1) water supply and resources, 2) environmental systems and process modeling, 3) environmental chemistry, 4) wastewater management, 5) solid waste management, 6) hazardous waste management, 7) atmospheric systems and air pollution control, and 8) environmental and occupational health.

In addition, modern manufacturing, both domestic and worldwide, focuses on using recycled and natural materials to fabricate products that are competitive in the marketplace and harmlessly degraded in the environment. The trend toward global manufacturing will grow stronger in the years ahead. Environmental challenges presented by this movement must be overcome if the economic and lifestyle benefits of globalization are to be extended to all peoples of the world.
