Objective

Train professionals in Environmental Engineering who design, operate and improve environmental protection processes, applying engineering theories and principles to optimize industrial processes, prevent pollution, minimize environmental impact and ensure safety and sustainability, using virtual environments and technological tools with commitment and global social responsibility.

Graduate profile

The Engineering’s teaching learning process is based on competencies to integrate knowledge, skills and attitudes that train ethical professionals who can meet the environmental engineering needs and requirements of the population, in a global world.

  • Create engineering solutions considering global, economic, environmental and social aspects for treatment systems, working as a team with leadership and ethics.
  • Design environmental protection strategies using basic sciences, material and energy balances, mass transfer and biotechnology to solve complex problems.
  • Intervene in production or treatment processes through experiments and data analysis for solutions that consider public health, safety, and well-being.
  • Apply technological tools and digital resources to minimize environmental impact in an ethical manner, respecting and promoting equity.
  • Evaluate unit operations to synthesize sustainable processes in the treatment of water, air and waste, communicating results effectively and participating in professional associations.
  • Manage their own learning using digital resources effectively.
