Environmental Engineering

About

Sustain the environment for future generations

Environmental engineers offer sustainable and green solutions that protect our planet from some of the biggest challenges. From ensuring our drinking water is clean to remediation of environmental hazards involving soil and air pollution, environmental engineers develop technical solutions to protect and improve the quality of the environment and environmental-related quality of human life.

Our program culminates with design experience with an emphasis on problem formulation, alternative investigation, system and element-level design, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. Both fundamental knowledge and design experience are delivered to bring the awareness of environmental engineering solutions in the context of social, economical, and political systems.

In the first two years of your degree, all engineering students complete the Core Engineering Program. This Program can be taken on the Sexton Campus in Halifax, or the Agricultural Campus in Truro. You will study core courses in math, science, engineering science and design, providing you with a broad foundation in engineering.

At the end of your first year, you can apply to one of our six tailored engineering disciplines including Environmental Engineering. Placement in a specific discipline is competitive and based on academic performance in the first year.

In the third year of your degree, you will transition into your discipline and can choose to combine your degree with co-operative education.

In the Environmental Engineering Program, youâ€™ll learn various approaches to environment-based design, coastal protection, waste management, water and soil quality, energy conservation and renewables, and air quality.

Environmental Measurements and Analysis
Environmental Microbiology
Water and Soil Quality
Municipal Water Engineering

How to Apply

Step 1: Choose your program

Dalhousie offers a wide range of programs to build an educational experience that is tailored to you. You can apply for up to three programs. You'll only be assessed for your second and third choices if you're not admitted to your first choice.

If you’re applying to the Faculty of Agriculture, please note all programs are located at the Agricultural campus in Truro, N.S.

Please note: Some undergraduate programs require previous university experience (Dental Hygiene, Environmental Design Studies, Meteorology, Pharmacy and Social Work).

Step 2: Review the requirements

Once you’ve selected your program:

Review the general admission requirements.
Check if your program has additional requirements.
If you’re applying from outside of Canada, make sure you meet the international equivalency requirements for your country.
If English isn’t your first language, check the English language requirements.

Step 3: Complete an application for admission

Three years of secondary schooling is generally required to review for admission. For an initial assessment, first-semester or mid-year results (predicted where applicable) can be reviewed if your final year is still in progress.
