在应对当今世界面临的环境挑战中，城市扮演着至关重要的角色。可持续城市环境专业为学生准备使城市更加可持续。学生将了解城市环境问题中的社会和技术问题，并了解创建更宜居，可持续和公平的城市所必需的政策和规划方法。多学科课程强调以项目为基础的学习，将纽约市用作城市实验室，并在全球范围内研究可持续发展的城市。定向研究和顶点项目为学生提供了在工程学院内部公共论坛进行和介绍研究的重要经验。在计划结束之前，我们的毕业生准备进入各种环境领域，包括城市规划和设计。他们还参与社会工作，政府，教育和博物馆中的机会。
Cities play a critical role in addressing the environmental challenges that face the world today. The major in Sustainable Urban Environments prepares students to make cities more sustainable. Students gain an understanding of the social and technical issues in urban environmental problems, and an appreciation of the policy and planning approaches that are necessary to create more livable, sustainable, and equitable cities. Multidisciplinary courses emphasize project-based learning, using New York City as an urban laboratory, and also examining sustainable cities in a global context.Directed studies and capstone projects provide students with essential experience in conducting and presenting research at public forums within the School of Engineering. By the program's end, our graduates are prepared to enter various environmental fields, including urban planning and design. They also partake in opportunities in social work, government, education, and museums.
