LOCATION: WEST LAFAYETTE

Environmental and Ecological Engineering launches a modern approach to environmental engineering. Rather than only considering conventional waste emission treatment, we use a broad systems perspective to address environmental issues, with a focus on ecological interactions and resilient designs that take into account complexity and connectivity between systems. We chose the name to highlight these aspects of out unique program relative to similar programs. The BS in Environmental and Ecological Engineering is the only degree at Purdue that is accredited in Environmental Engineering by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.

In the undergraduate curriculum, topics include systems modeling, urban ecology, industrial sustainability, environmental modeling and remediation, and life-cycle analysis. EEE also requires coursework in advanced math, statistics and other engineering fundamentals.
