College of Arts & Sciences, College of Health

This hands-on course trains students in environmental health and engineering field methods to assess and address environmental risks. Through fieldwork, laboratory analysis, and applied research, students investigate issues like water quality, air pollution, sanitation, food safety, and/or hazardous waste. Community-based projects provide experience in sampling, data analysis, and risk assessment while proposing evidenced-based mitigation strategies. Emphasizing both public health and environmental engineering applications, this course prepares students for careers or graduate studies in environmental health, environmental engineering, and sustainability.
