Description
A course of study that prepares students to use mathematical and scientific principles to modify, test, and operate equipment and devices used in the prevention, control and remediation of environmental problems and development of environmental remediation devices. Includes instruction in environmental safety principles, environmental standards, testing and sampling procedures, laboratory techniques, instrumentation calibration, safety and protection procedures, equipment maintenance, and report preparation.
Students may be required to take developmental courses in Math and/or English as a result of high school GPA or pre-enrollment placement tests. Therefore, the student may need more than the minimum number of semester hours listed for graduation. Consult a program advisor for more information.
The appropriate level math class should be taken during the student’s first semester, and a math course should be taken each subsequent semester until all required math courses have been completed. ACA 122 and EGR 150 should be completed in the first semester.
Courses that require a minimum grade of "C": ACA, CEG, CIV, DFT, EGR, ENV, MAT, and SRV.
This pathway does not meet the entrance requirements at any of the North Carolina public University Bachelor of Science Engineering programs. Students wishing to pursue a transfer should seek an Associate in Engineering degree.
