The Biosystems Engineering Standard Sequence automatically meets many
of the requirements for the Environmental Engineering Minor. The Minor
can be achieved with only 6 additional credit hours by:
1) filling the Gen. Ed. Elec. (Arts and Humanities) shown in the Fall of the Junior year with Phil245 Environmental Ethics 2) filling the Technical Elective shown in the Spring of the Junior year with CE486 Air and Waste Management (Spring); 3) filling the Technical Elective shown in the Fall of the Senior year with CE485 Principles of Hydrogeology (Fall) or ESS444 Soil Physics (Spring); 4) taking one of CHEM230 Inorganic Chemistry (Fall), CHEM310 Analytical Chemistry (Fall and Spring), or CHEM350 Organic Chemistry (Fall and Spring). 5) taking one of EnvEng513 (not sure when taught) or Chem&BiomolEng475 (Fall) Talk to your advisor about whether this is the best option or you, and how to fit it into your schedule. Note that it may take a little shifting around of courses to make sure that you are scheduled to take the courses in the right semester, and that there are a couple of other options available if scheduling conflicts arise. You can get more information on the Environmental Engineering Minor in the Civil and Environmental Engineering portion of the Undergraduate Catalog. The current stated requirements are: - required: Civil Eng. 486 - select one: Environ. Eng. 513 or Chem. & Biomolec. Eng. 475 - select one: Chem. 230,310,350 - select two: Chem. & Biomol. Eng. 201; Biosys. Eng. 221*, 416*; Civil Eng. 381,494 - select one: Geol. 202 or Phil. 245** - select one: Geol. 485, Civil Eng. 485, Env. & Soil Sci. 444 * already required as part of the standard BsE curriculum ** of these, only Phil245 meets a General Education requirement, and the BsE program requirement |
