BS Ecological Engineering

Ecological Engineering (EcoE) blends engineering and science, and focuses on the design of sustainable systems (natural, urban, and agricultural) that integrate human activities into the natural environment to the benefit of both.

Examples of EcoE-related projects:

• Riparian restoration
• Optimizing sensor arrays for ecological monitoring
• Improving agricultural water quality
• Mitigating toxic materials migration from landfills
• Developing sustainable industrial systems (agricultural and otherwise)
• Developing closed systems for space travel
• Dealing with issues associated with global climate change
• Green building/infrastructure that increases water and energy-use efficiencies
