Environmental Engineering Accreditation
Accreditation
- The Environmental Engineering Bachelor of Science degree program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the General Criteria and the Environmental Engineering and Similarly Named Engineering Programs Program Criteria
Program Educational Objectives
The objectives of the Environmental Engineering undergraduate programs at the University of California, Davis, are to produce engineers that:
1. Are able to develop or design safe, sustainable, economical and environmentally sound solutions for environmental engineering problems either within the profession or through post-graduate research;
2. Grow professionally in their careers through continued development of technical, management, and oral and written communication skills; achievement of professional licensure; and assumption of roles of responsibility and leadership in professional service; and
3. Achieve their professional aims ethically and with cultural competency within an environment characterized by the diverse needs of society and the profession.
Student Outcomes
Graduates of the Environmental Engineering program will have:
1: An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
2: An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
3: An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
4: An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
