Program description
The Environmental Engineering Bachelor of Applied Science program is a 4.5 year (nine semester) joint degree between the University of British Columbia and the University of Northern British Columbia. The program is based on a unique collaboration between UNBC and UBC that capitalizes on the strength of UNBC in Environmental Science and the breadth and depth of engineering at UBC.
The UNBC/UBC BASc in Environmental Engineering covers all aspects of environmental engineering, with a focus on sustainable development, northern community drinking water delivery, wastewater management, and resource extraction site remediation and reclamation.
Canadians, especially those in resource-rich northern British Columbia, are concerned about environmental issues. Due to a resource-dependent economy focused on forestry, mining, oil and gas, and fisheries, worries are especially high. British Columbia's core wealth and economic growth come from the north. Environmental Engineering at UNBC combines basic science with current engineering.
Our graduates are prepared to tackle modern society's environmental issues, including water, air, and soil pollution control, solid waste management, and contaminated site remediation. Modern problems require highly qualified engineers with environmental engineering experience, good communication skills, and the ability to work across disciplines. This curriculum prepares graduates for a wide range of engineering jobs that require technical expertise and problem-solving skills as well as environmental awareness and understanding.
