Introduction

Environmental Engineering (Joint UNBC and UBC) is a Bachelor program taught at University of Northern British Columbia, Canada. Intake: Sep. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time (4.5 Years) options.

Environmental Engineering (Joint UNBC and UBC) is a Bachelor of Applied Science (BASc) program that prepares students for engineering work where technical problem-solving is used alongside an understanding of environmental issues. The program focuses on sustainable development, wastewater management, and remediation and reclamation of contaminated sites.

During the first two years at UNBC, students gain foundational knowledge in mathematics, biology, chemistry, and environmental science, with courses in engineering design, technical writing, chemistry, physics, computer science and calculus. In the third and fourth years, students transition to UBC for hands-on engineering principles, analysis, and design, including soil mechanics, fluid mechanics and engineering hydrology. Students return to UNBC for a final semester with professional practice and environmental law, and a capstone design project, with co-op available.
