Online Environmental Engineering Degrees

Direct Degree provides information about online degree programs for environmental engineering.

The environmental management degree program educates environmental managers who not only understand all aspects of the environmental industry but also have new work skills, including skills in critical thinking, problem solving, project management, interpersonal relations, and team building. The major in environmental management prepares students to plan, implement, and control all facets of environmental management.

Environmental Engineering Degree - Benefits

The student who graduates with a major in environmental management will be able to

• Apply and interpret the scientific principles, guiding regulations, and recommended practices for environmental management.
  
• Demonstrate knowledge of effective techniques for communicating scientific, technical, and legal information to diverse populations, including industry managers and employees, community groups, and the media.
  
• Develop comprehensive environmental management strategies and possess “new work skills,” i.e., skills in critical thinking, problem solving, project management, interpersonal relations, and team building.
  
• Incorporate information technology, international perspectives, and an understanding of the new environmental paradigm of management and prevention in addition to control and remediation.
  
• Demonstrate breadth of understanding of multimedia environmental contexts, the development of cutting-edge technologies, and the application of existing and emerging environmental technologies in cost-effective and work-efficient ways.
  
• Demonstrate breadth of understanding of multimedia environmental management, regulatory compliance, recent technological changes, emergency management, health and safety management, global resource conservation, and sustainable development.
  
• Discuss the history and development of theory and concepts in environmental management and how these theories and concepts can be applied in various environmental situations.
  
• Evaluate ethical, social, civic, cultural, and political issues as they relate to environmental management, business operations, human factors, information systems, governmental regulation, and domestic and international ventures.
  
• Apply knowledge, concepts, and principles to changes in environmental management practices and information technology areas (including the use of databases, spreadsheets, accounting software applications, e-commerce, virtual and knowledge management approaches, and strategic and decision-making tools to analyze problems and issues, develop business research, report key data, and recommend management strategy and action plans).

Bachelor of Science Degree in Environmental Engineering

The Environmental Engineering program is a diverse discipline, which focuses on innovative technology for reuse, recycle and recovery measures, and on the biological, chemical and physical reactions in the land, air and water environments. The curriculum continues to respond to the demand for up-to-date education with practical applications.

Master of Science Degree in Environmental Engineering

The Master of Science (MS) in environmental management is designed to provide the skills, knowledge, and competencies that students need to function effectively in multiple environmental management settings. The courses in the program are interrelated and provide a solid conceptual and applied foundation.

Courses for the Master of Science program include Quantitative Methods for Environmental Assessment, Air Pollution Phenomena and Systems, Solid Waste Management and Toxicology.

Doctorate of Science Degree in Environmental Engineering

Courses for the Doctorate Program include Chemical and Biological Processes in Environmental Engineering, Water Quality Control, Managing Environmental Risks and Environmental Economics.

Environmental Management Science Certificate

Since so many of our environmental concerns and problems involve subsurface contamination and contaminant migration via surface and groundwater systems, understanding the principles of environmental geology and hydrology are key to sound environmental management. The environmental science certificate program provides this valuable knowledge plus practitioner-oriented instruction on how to design and implement a successful environmental monitoring and measurement program.

Industrial Environmental Management Certificate

This certificate program covers all key elements of environmental management in industry. Waste minimization is emphasized as a major element of pollution control in each area of environmental management.
