DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING AND EARTH SCIENCES Department of Environmental Engineering and Earth Sciences Chairperson: Dr. Marleen Troy Faculty Professors: Murthy, Troy, Whitman Associate Professors: Frederick Assistant Professor: Finkenbinder, Karimi, Karnae Lecturers: Kaster, McMonagle Laboratory Manager: McMonagle Office Assistant: Garrison The Department of Environmental Engineering and Earth Sciences (EEES) offers the following degree programs: the B.S. in Civil Engineering, the B.S. in Environmental Engineering; the B.S. in Environmental Science; the B.S. in Geology; and the B.A. in Earth and Environmental Science. EEES envisions future accreditation of the Civil Engineering program by EAC-ABET. The Environmental Engineering program is accredited by the EAC-ABET. The engineering programs incorporate a strong background in the fundamentals of engineering with a blend of science and advanced engineering courses. The Environmental Science program combines a foundation in the related sciences and primary earth reservoirs (water, land, air, and life) with concentrations in either Earth Science or Biology. The Geology program provides a comprehensive curriculum that includes the fundamentals of geology with courses responsive to the needs of industrial employment sectors. The Geology program meets the academic requirements for Pennsylvania State professional licensure. All EEES programs emphasize the value of integrative learning in the classroom, laboratory and field. Modern laboratories are well-equipped to support a wide range of courses and research experiences. Easy access to exceptional off-campus sites provides training in field methods that augment the curricula. A dedicated computer laboratory for geospatial technology (Geographic Information System, Global Positioning System, Remote Sensing) supports all EEES programs and research/project activities in the science and engineering fields.

EEES General Education 3 envisions future accreditation by EAC-ABET of this program. The Civil 17 Engineering program will have four concentrations that will equip Wilkes to educate students to address sustainable and resilience design to minimize risk to infrastructure due to climate change, natural and man- Third Semester made disasters, and current and future pandemics and other human health [[MTH-211]] Introduction to Ord. 4 threats. This program provides strong engineering and scientific experience Diff. Equations with advanced techniques to analyze systems, use of software for civil [[PHY-202]] General Physics II 3 engineering design, and hands-on activities heavily integrated into the curriculum. Students intending to major in this program are encouraged to [[PHY-205]] General Physics II Lab 1 be well prepared in the sciences and mathematics. Concentration areas [[ME-231]] Statics 3 of the Civil Engineering program include Environmental, Geotechnical, [[EES-240]] Principles of 3 Structural or Water Resources and Hydraulics. Total Credits – 128. Environmental Engineering and The student professional chapters of the Air & Waste Management Science Association (AWMA), American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and [[EES-241]] Principles of 1 Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), the Pennsylvania Society of Environmental Engineering and Professional Engineers (PSPE) and the Society of Women (SWE) in Science Lab conjunction with the Department of Environmental Engineering and 15 Earth Sciences periodically offer seminars on subjects of a timely nature. Attending these seminars and taking the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam are mandatory for the completion of the degree in Civil Engineering.
