环境工程师为人类和大自然的利益开发针对环境问题的创新解决方案。环境工程涉及人与环境相互作用的许多方面。维持饮用水的安全供应，城市废物的卫生处理，工业和危险废物的处理，研究环境中污染物的影响，环境中污染物的归宿和运输预测，污染场地修复系统的设计史蒂文斯（Stevens）坐落在哈德逊河（Hudson River）河畔，距纽约市和大西洋仅数分钟路程，是从事环境工程研究的理想之地。与纽约和新泽西州港口管理局，新泽西州交通运输部以及美国海岸警卫队的合作关系为学生提供了充分的实践经验，并开发了对大都会滨水区有直接影响
Hone the skills and knowledge necessary to find solutions to today’s most pressing environmental issues.<br><br>Environmental engineers develop creative solutions to globally-relevant challenges like safe drinking water, hazardous waste treatment, the fate and transport of environmental pollutants, and climate change–for the benefit of both humankind and nature.<br><br>The environmental engineering bachelor’s program at Stevens has a strong foundation in process design, using material balance and reactor theory to integrate principles of physicochemical equilibrium and chemical and microbial kinetics to design treatment processes and analyze phenomena in the environment.<br><br>The program offers flexible courses that give you a broader study of environmental biology than other universities by including microbiology, ecology, and toxicology. The program culminates with a project-oriented, two-semester senior capstone design course focused around physicochemical and biochemical processes. You'll also have the opportunity to develop critical thinking skills by conducting cutting-edge research in state-of-the-art facilities such as the Center for Environmental Systems.<br><br>Located on the banks of the Hudson River, just minutes away from New York City and the Atlantic Ocean, Stevens is a prime location for the study of environmental engineering. Partnerships with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the New Jersey Department of Transportation, and the United States Coast Guard provide ample opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience and develop projects that have a direct impact on the metropolitan waterfront.
