CEE.MINES.EDU department of civil and environmental engineering The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering produces graduates w ho can design and maintain sustainable built and natural environments in society. Mines offers two closely-related undergraduate programs: the BS in environmental engineering and the BS in . Environmental engineers are responsible for the protection of our natural environment and its inhabitants, including ensuring the distribution of clean and safe drinking water to communities and cities.

Research opportunities for undergraduate students in environmental engineering are plentiful. These opportunities can be packaged in many different ways, including fellowships, scholarships, hourly jobs or course credit. Undergraduate research may be sponsored at the faculty level, or in various research centers, such as the six that are highlighted below. research centers AQWATEC CERA CESEP The Advanced Water The Center for Environmental Risk Center for Experimental Study of Center (AQWATEC) aims to advance Assessment (CERA) aims to promote Subsurface Environmental Processes the research and development of and enhance environmental risk (CESEP) utilizes know ledge from novel water treatment processes and assessment research and educational diverse disciplines to provide a broad hybrid systems. The center works to activities at Mines. The Center and thorough understanding of enable sustainable and energy focuses on scientific based environmental and hydrologic efficient utilization of polluted water approaches for estimating human processes. The center creates sources to provide potable and and ecological risks associated w ith solutions to problems related to non-potable water supplies. exposures to artificial and natural underground environmental issues chemicals in the environment. like global climate change, groundwater pollution, landmine detection and remediation of hazardous waste in the environment.
