Program Overview
The Faculty of Applied Science offers a program leading to the Bachelor of Applied Science in Environmental Engineering (ENVL). Interested students are eligible to enter the ENVL program after completing the first year engineering program and should apply for the ENVL program during term 2 of the first year engineering program.
The Mission of the ENVL program is to develop engineers possessing a combined analytical and open mind-set, who contribute to the health of ecosystems and the provisioning of ecosystem services to people, by addressing complex, often ill-structured, problems associated with the quality of air, land, water and living systems. The program is grounded in strong engineering foundations, an ecosystem approach to environmental engineering problems, collaborative community-focused projects and a reciprocal active-learning environment created between students, stakeholders, and instructors.
Graduates of the UBC ENVL program will be uniquely qualified via training in both chemical, biological, and civil engineering to contribute to: a) the design of facilities, management systems, and information systems associated with ensuring clean air, water and healthy living systems; b) the performance of impact assessments (including regulatory, sustainability, environmental, social, and risk); c) sustainability planning and design; and d) environmental policy formulation.
The optional cooperative (Co-op) education experiential learning placements are a valuable aspect of the Bachelor of Applied Science in the Chemical Engineering and the Chemical and Biological Engineering programs. Students are highly encouraged to take advantage of this program. Participating students will typically complete five 4-month experiential learning placements coordinated through the Applied Science Co-op Program. Work terms can take place during the Winter or Summer terms. https://vancouver.calendar.ubc.ca/faculties-colleges-and-schools/faculty-applied-science/co-operative-education-program
The UBC Environmental Engineering differs from, and is not compatible with, the Joint UNBC/UBC Environmental Engineering program. For information see Joint UNBC/UBC Environmental Engineering program.
Graduates from the UBC Environmental Engineering program will be eligible for Professional Engineering (P.Eng.) status in the field of their practice through EGBC.
