Environmental and Ecological Engineering Minor


EEE offers a minor in Environmental and Ecological Engineering, as a mechanism for students in all branches of engineering, and other related fields, to gain expertise and qualifications in EEE fields. The minor is most appropriate for students who have particular environmental interests in engineering, or who want to develop a career at the interface of EEE and their chosen major field. Environmental concerns touch all aspects of engineering, making this an attractive option for many students, and an attractive set of qualifications for many prospective employers.

The minor consists of six courses, and is available to any student at Purdue who has met the co- and/or pre-requisites for courses in the EEE minor.  Students should carefully review the co- and/or pre-requisites for the required courses listed.

Learning Outcomes

  • Define the components of Environmental and Ecological Engineering 
  • Describe key concepts that relate to Environmental Sustainability 
  • Describe key ecological concepts and how they impact engineered and natural systems
  • Develop basic computational skills to process data that inform environmental systems
  • Describe the basic inputs and outputs in the life-cycle of a natural or engineered process

Requirements for the Minor (17-18 Credits)


Notes


  • Students must earn a “C” or better grade in any course used to fulfill a requirement for the Environmental and Ecological Engineering minor.
