Environmental and ecological problems are of increasing concern to Canadians. In northern British Columbia, the concerns are especially acute in resource based economies.
As one of
the four Environmental degrees at UNBC, Environmental Science seeks to
train scientists who will understand how the environment functions, and
how to mitigate effects on the environment when functions and processes
are disrupted.
Engineers serve society across a wide range of
sectors, ensuring economic growth and high quality of life in British
Columbia, Canada and the World. BC is particularly aware of the need to
integrate environmental and economic factors, and environmental
engineers are best prepared to meet that challenge. Our
professionally-trained engineers are given a solid background in
environmental analysis and engineering design and the ability to work
across a wide range of disciplines.
