Students will be
able to apply mathematics and computer applications to analyze environmental process systems (1).
·
Students will be
able to use engineering principles and modern engineering tools to identify,
analyze, and solve engineering problems involving environmental
process systems (2).
·
Students will be
able to design systems, components, or processes to meet customer
specifications using a structured design process involving an environmental process system (4).
·
Students will be
able to work in multi-disciplinary teams and to communicate effectively (5).
·
Students will
display an understanding of professional ethics and the need for and ability to
engage in continuing professional education (6).
·
