The engineering and technology track provides students with increased understanding of the technical aspects of environmental analysis and protection in the areas of energy, water resources, environmentally friendly (green) structures, solid waste, and air pollution. This will enable a much broader and deeper understanding of the complex issues involved in environmental management and policy.
