Students successfully completing the first year of Civil Engineering Technology who choose the Environmental Protection Technology option will study the principles and applications of environmental protection technology for careers in:

• Waste disposal and water supply
• Reuse and recycling
• Workplace health and safety
• Integrated project management
• Site investigation, reclamation, remediation, and containment
• Testing and quality control
• Data capture and acquisition

Environmental Protection Technology Competencies are more advanced courses in which the generic competencies are used together in specific problem oriented contexts of application and research. These courses would include subjects such as water supply and waste disposal, recycling and reuse, hydraulics, soil analysis, water and air quality, legislation and remediation, remote sensing, mapping and modeling, occupational health and safety, and environmental analysis. An applied research project is incorporated into final term courses.
