Overview

The Environmental Systems Engineering minor is intended to give students a focused introduction to one or more areas of Environmental Systems Engineering. Departmental expertise and undergraduate course offerings are available in environmental engineering and science, environmental fluid mechanics and hydrology, and atmosphere/energy.

Students should recognize that a minor in Environmental Systems Engineering is not an ABET-accredited degree program.

Requirements

Program Requirements

Optional - Prerequisite Calculus Courses

Students may need to complete the Math 19, 20 and 21 Calculus series as prerequisite courses for their ENVSE Minor coursework.

Complete any of the following course(s):
MATH 19

Calculus

3 Units
MATH 20

Calculus

3 Units
MATH 21

Calculus

4 Units

Many courses of interest require PHYSICS 41 Mechanics and/or MATH 51 Linear Algebra, Multivariable Calculus, and Modern Applications as prerequisites.

Requirements Guidelines

Since undergraduates with varying backgrounds may be interested in obtaining an Environmental Systems Engineering minor, no single set of course requirements is appropriate for all students. Instead, interested students are encouraged to propose courses within the guidelines below.

General guidelines are:

  1. An Environmental Systems Engineering minor must contain at least 24 units of coursework not taken for the major and consist of at least six classes of at least three units each of letter-graded work, except where letter grades are not offered.

  2. The list of courses must represent a coherent body of knowledge in a focused area and should include classes that build upon one another.

  3. Two quarters prior to graduation, the student should meet with the Assistant Dir. of UG Degree Progress Rachel Stringari (rstring@stanford.edu) to review their course plan for graduation.

  4. Minors must be officially declared and all courses completed (or in progress) no later than the deadline for a student’s application to graduate.

Professor Peter Kitanidis (peterk@stanford.edu) is the CEE undergraduate minor advisor in Environmental Systems Engineering. Students must consult with Professor Kitanidis  opens in a new tabin developing their minor program and obtain his approval of the finalized study list on the CEE Environmental Systems Engineering Minor Program sheet and email to the CEE Assistant Director of Undergraduate Degree Progress.
