Environmental Engineering (sustainability)

1. What is sustainability?

The concept of sustainability centers on a balance of society, economy and environment for current and future health.  Responsible resource management in all three areas ensures that future generations will have the resources they need to survive and thrive.

Adopting a culture of sustainability throughout all aspects of academics, research and operations is the ultimate goal for a campus concerned with the impact it has on the community and the future.  A sustainable campus promotes socially just and vibrant communities, is economically responsible and conserves finite resources.
