Environmental Engineering
UTTC’s Environmental Engineering Associate of Science (AS) degree program provides a rigorous and affordable option for students interested in pursuing a career in Environmental Engineering. Small classes ensure personalized attention and extra tutoring when needed.
Environmental engineers are professionals who have broad scientific and technical knowledge, possess strong problem-solving and design skills, and enjoy working with people and communities. Environmental Engineers work collaboratively to improve public health, recycling, waste disposal, and water and air pollution control. Environmental Engineers are concerned with protecting populations from the effects of pollution in addition to improving environmental quality. The goal of any engineer, regardless of discipline, is to design solutions that improve the quality of life for all people.
Modules have been developed in conjunction with the new Environmental Engineering Bachelors of Science (BS) degree program at North Dakota State University (NDSU) so students are able to complete their first two years at UTTC and then transfer directly into the program at NDSU to complete the remainder of their coursework. Students also have the option of seeking employment as an Environmental Engineering Technician after the completion of the AS degree at UTTC.
What Environmental Engineers Do
As an Environmental Engineer, you’ll combine broad scientific and technical knowledge with strong problem-solving and design skills to:
- Safeguard public health by protecting populations from pollution’s harmful effects
- Design clean water systems that serve entire communities
- Improve air quality through innovative pollution control solutions
- Revolutionize recycling and waste disposal with sustainable approaches
- Restore environmental quality for future generations
Environmental Engineers work collaboratively with people and communities—because the best solutions come from listening, understanding, and co-creating. Whether you’re passionate about protecting sacred lands, ensuring clean drinking water for tribal communities, or fighting climate change, this is your path.
The ultimate goal? Design solutions that improve the quality of life for all people.
