If you are interested in environmental issues associated with the extraction, processing, and use of mineral and energy resources and their solutions, you should consider pursuing a minor in environmental systems engineering. The program provides an opportunity for students to understand and appreciate the relationship between energy and the environment, be exposed to the basic courses in environmental systems engineering, and to appreciate and evaluate the impact of environmental pollution control on viability of the profitability and feasibility of operations associated with the safe extraction, processing, and utilization of mineral and energy resources.
