Environmental Engineering Program in Pennsylvania

Are you interested in using engineering principles to develop solutions to environmental problems?

Study Environmental Engineering at a Christian University

The environmental engineering concentration of the engineering major (BSE) program will teach you how to apply engineering practices to plans that will have an impact on natural surroundings in a program that has been named an “Engineering College of Distinction” by Colleges of Distinction for 2023-2024 and a “Top Undergraduate Engineering Program in the U.S.” by U.S. News & World Report. For example, as an environmental engineer, you might plan for a new structure, including assessing the environmental impact on the existing natural resources. Overall, an environmental engineer focuses on how humans, industry and environment can work together.

Messiah's unique approach to hands-on learning

Learning in the classroom is important but actually applying that knowledge in a hands-on way can make all the difference. At Messiah University, the Experiential Learning Initiative (ELI) allows Messiah to take this hands-on learning to a new level by giving students the opportunity to apply what they have learned to various real world contexts--such as an internship/practica, service learning, off-campus program, holding a student leadership position, or participating in undergraduate research.

Practical experience through The Collaboratory

Starting your second year, you’ll work on projects that meet the needs of a real-world client in a Christian missions context. You will be offered the opportunity to begin using your engineering skills right away, not only in Pennsylvania, but around the world. When you finish your degree, you’ll walk into your first job with a complete project management and technical application experience.

Participate in the Integrated Projects Curriculum (IPC) in partnership with the Collaboratory, which provides all engineering students with a five-semester sequence of credit-bearing opportunities to use what you learn in the classroom to solve authentic problems for local and international clients such as building prosthetics, wheelchairs and more. Don't want to wait until sophomore year? You can start volunteering in the Collaboratory as a first-year student!
