Environmental Engineering applies science and engineering principles to improve air, water, and land resources, ensuring healthy environments for people and other organisms. It also focuses on developing new technologies and materials that support sustainability and green manufacturing. This minor explores the chemical mechanisms behind environmental processes, pollutant transport, bioavailability, toxicity, and the design of pollution prevention and remediation strategies. The coursework emphasizes understanding ecological and geochemical factors and developing materials and technologies for sustainable development. Key areas of study include sustainability, green manufacturing, ecology, and pollution prevention.
Graduates with a minor in Environmental Engineering are well-prepared for a variety of roles focused on environmental protection, sustainability, and engineering solutions. Nearly 95% of Stony Brook University graduates are employed or pursue further professional or graduate studies.
