2002-2003 Environmental Engineering Bachelor of Science Major Requirements

2002-2003 UCI Bachelor Degree Requirements

2002-2003 Engineering School Requirements

Major Requirements

Mathematics and Basic Science Courses: Mathematics 2A-B, 2D, 2J, 3D, and 2E, Physics 7A-B and 7LA-LB, Chemistry 1A-B-C and 1LB-LC, Chemistry 51A and 51LA. With approval of a faculty advisor, students select 8 units of Earth System Science and 8 units of Biological Sciences. Additional mathematics and basic science course work may be required depending on the student applied program.

Engineering Topics Courses: Students must complete a minimum of 24 units of engineering design.

Core Courses: Engineering CEE10 or ECE10 or MAE10, CEE11, CEE81A-B or MAE52, CEE30 or MAE30, CEE80 or MAE80, CBEMS40A-B or MAE91, CEE110, CEE150 and 150L or MAE150, CEE170 or MAE130A or CBEMS120A, CEE162, CEE181A-B-C or MAE 189A-B-C or CBEMS145.

Engineering Elective Courses: Students must take two courses each from three of the following four groups and one course from the remaining group.

Water Supply and Resources: CEE171, CEE172, CEE176, CEE178.

Waste Water Management: CEE161, CEE163, CEE165.

Atmospheric Systems and Air Pollution Control: MAE110, MAE162, MAE164, Earth System Science 112.

Hazardous Waste Management: CEE69, CEE174, CBEMS106, CBEMS114.

All additional engineering topics courses needed to satisfy school and major requirements must be approved by the faculty advisor. Environmental Engineering is an inherently interdisciplinary program. Students interested in pursuing a dual degree with Environmental Engineering may be able to substitute appropriate course work for required courses stated above. Please consult with an Engineering academic or faculty advisor.

Engineering Professional Topics Courses: Social Ecology E8, Economics 20A-B.

(The nominal Environmental Engineering program requires 190 units of courses to satisfy all university and major requirements. Because each student comes to UCI with a different level of preparation, the actual number of units will vary.)

In addition, students must aggregate a minimum of 24 design units. Design unit values are indicated at the end of each course description. The faculty advisors and the Student Affairs Office can provide necessary guidance for satisfying the design requirements.

At most an aggregate total of 6 units of 199 or H199 courses may be used to satisfy degree requirements.

Program of Study

The sample program of study chart shown is typical for the major in Environmental Engineering. Students should keep in mind that this program is based upon a sequence of prerequisites, beginning with adequate preparation in high school mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Students who are not adequately prepared, or who wish to make changes in the sequence for other reasons, must have their programs approved by their faculty advisor. Environmental Engineering majors must consult at least once every year with the academic counselors in the Student Affairs Office and with their faculty advisors.
