Environmental engineering involves the application of the principles of science and mathematics to the protection of human health, preservation of ecosystem function, and stewardship of natural resources. The environmental engineering program at SFU prepares students in the fundamental theory of environmental engineering as well as in the practical applications. The curriculum includes substantial hands-on experiences in both field work and laboratory experimentation. Student-led design projects are incorporated throughout the four years of study with a culminating capstone design experience in the senior year.
Renewable energy engineering is a growing sub-discipline of environmental engineering that concerns the utilization of non-fossil stores of energy including solar, geothermal, wind, micro-hydro, and waste-to-energy. The renewable energy concentration is built on-top of the environmental engineering program with two additional 400-level courses in the science and technology of energy conversion.
