Bachelor of Science In Engineering Technology, Environmental Technology Option
(code ET__BS06) (133 units)
Description
The Environmental Technology Option program is to provide career educational opportunities
to students whose technological interests and aptitudes are applications-oriented. The goal
is to produce occupational-ready college graduates with practical skills and potential for
growth to meet defined technical manpower needs, primarily for California's environmental
industry. To achieve these goals, emphasis is placed on meeting students’ needs through
lecture and laboratory teaching, through the co-op program with local industry, and
through other relevant learning experiences.
In addition to acquiring technical knowledge and skills, graduates will be able to communicate well.
They will be prepared not only for immediate employment but for continuing development as
citizens and responsible human beings as well. This will be accomplished by requiring appropriate
courses in technical fields, communications, and in general education courses. Furthermore the
ethical considerations of environmental issues will have a major role throughout the curriculum.
Finally, every effort is made to help the students in proper job placement upon graduation.
This option is not accredited.
