PROFESSOR CHARLES A. COLE, Program Chair
The Environmental Engineering major helps graduates obtain the skills necessary to analyze, design, and manage air pollution control, water supply, waste water treatment, solid waste handling, and hazardous waste systems. A thorough background in engineering fundamentals is provided by a broad core of courses in basic science and mathematics emphasizing sciences such as chemistry and microbiology.
A sequence of environmental engineering design courses distinguishes the undergraduate program. In the senior year, a majority of the environmental engineering courses such as, Solid Waste Management, Treatment Plant Design, Hydraulic Design, and Hazardous Waste Management utilize a team approach to meet project design objectives. These courses also emphasize written and oral communication of engineering concepts and project results. There is a considerable emphasis on conservation, reuse, and pollution prevention as pollution control strategies in these courses.
Environmental Engineering students are qualified to take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination leading to certification as an Engineer-in-Training (EIT) and, with appropriate experience after graduation, sit for the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) examination leading to registration as a Professional Engineer. They are also qualified to pursue graduate education in Environmental Engineering or other related majors such as Environmental Pollution Control. ENVE graduates are qualified to work at the entry level in a variety of jobs related to environmental protection and management in government and private industry.
For a B.S. degree in Environmental Engineering a minimum of 132 credits are required.
Entry to Major Requirements:
A 2.00 or higher cumulative grade-point average is required.
Change of Assignment Recommendation:
Students should generally have completed most of their General Education requirements.
A limited number of 001-200 level courses are offered at Penn State Harrisburg
for students who meet entry to major requirements but need lower division courses.
Students should request a change-of-assignment to Penn State Harrisburg during their fourth semester, to be effective for the next semester of enrollment.

PROFESSOR JAMES L. ROSENBERGER, Head, Department of Statistics
This major helps prepare students with interests in mathematics, computation, and the quantitative aspects of science for careers in industry and government as statistical analysts, or for further graduate training in statistics. Research divisions in the pharmaceutical industry, quality control, and quality engineering divisions in manufacturing companies, clinical research units, corporate planning and analysis units, and other data intensive positions require persons with training in mathematics, computation, database management, and statistical analysis, which this major will provide. The major includes four options: a Biostatistics option, a Graduate Study option for students planning to go to graduate school in statistics, a Statistics and Computing option, and an Applied Statistics option for students interested in a cross-disciplinary program.
The Biostatistics option will give students interested in biological applications of statistics the appropriate training for pursuing their interests. Such training would be useful for students planning careers with pharmaceutical companies, research hospitals and many other fields in which biological data is analyzed.
In order to be eligible for entrance into the Statistics major, a student must have: 1) Attained at least a 2.00 cumulative grade point average. 2) Completed MATH 140 GQ(4) and MATH 141 GQ(4); and earned a grade of C or better in each of these courses.
For the B.S. degree in Statistics, a minimum of 120 credits is required.
