Hi everyone, I'm considering KSU for environmental engineering, but I need to know more about their program. Can anyone clue me in? Yup, it's panic time, but I'm sure you've all been through it too. Thanks, guys!
Hello! It's normal to want more information, especially when you're making a big decision about your future. Kennesaw State University offers a B.S. in Civil Engineering degree with a concentration in Environmental Engineering which is fully ABET accredited. This emphasis means you'll be learning about waste disposal, recycling, pollution control, and environmental sustainability.
Students in this program are trained to analyze, design, and manage systems that mitigate and prevent environmental degradation. The curriculum focuses on the balance between societal needs for development and the need to protect the environment.
KSU's engineering programs are recognized for their hands-on approach. The university's Southern Polytechnic College of Engineering and Engineering Technology is its second-largest college, and students have opportunities for research, internships, and co-ops in metro Atlanta's robust job market.
The student-to-faculty ratio is pretty decent too, with a smaller-size class that allows students to interact more with professors.
Networking is a big part of being a successful engineer, and KSU's Association of Environmental Engineers and Scientists could be a great opportunity. This student-run organization brings in guest speakers and coordinates networking events.
In the end, the most important thing is how well the program's strengths align with your own interests and future career goals. If hands-on learning and a focus on practical solutions to complex environmental problems appeal to you, this program could be a great fit.
