Minor in Envrionmental Engineering (by Civil Engineering and Other Majors)

An undergraduate minor in environmental engineering may be obtained by students major in Civil Engineering or other majors by successful completion of 12 or more semester credit hours in approved environmental engineering course work at the 300 or 400 level. In addition, a student seeking a minor in environmental engineering must satisfy all pre- or corequisite requirements for the courses selected.

Courses are available that allow pursuit of several areas of study or specialization within environmental engineering (water quality, water and wastewater treatment, hazardous wastes, air quality). The precise course of study must be approved by the chief departmental advisor.

For completion of a minor a student must have a minimum grade point average of 2.00 in each course taken toward the minor and complete a minimum of six hours of upper level courses in the minor requirement at Old Dominion University. Completion of a minor in environmental engineering with a grade point average 3.00 or greater partially satisfies the leveling requirements for graduate degrees in environmental engineering.

Two tracks are available leading to a Minor in Environmental Engineering -- (a) Aqueous Environmental Systems Track and (b) Environmental Protection Track. Requirements for both Track are listed below.

(a) Aqueous Environmental Systems Track

Three hours from
  • CEE 350 Environmental Pollution and Control (3 hrs)
plus Nine hours from any three courses from below
  • CEE 446 Urban Stormwater Hydrology (3 hrs)
  • CEE 447 Groundwater Hydraulics (3 hrs)
  • CEE 450 Water Distribution & Waste Water
    Collection System Design (3 hrs)
  • CEE 451 Water & Waste Water Treatment (3 hrs)

 

(b) Environmental Protection Track

Three hours from
  • CEE 350 Environmental Pollution and Control (3 hrs)
plus Nine hours from any three courses from below
  • CEE 356 Public Health Engineering (3 hrs)
  • CEE 452 Air Quality (3 hrs)
  • CEE 454 Hazardous Wastes (3 hrs)
  • CEE 458 Sustainable Development (3 hrs)

To declare Environmental Engineering Minor, you need to fill in a 'Program Declaration' form and submit it to Dr. Schafran at Kaufman Hall Room 135.
