Environmental Engineering

Environmental Engineering at the 2019 Dalhousie Engineering Capstone Conference

Environmental engineers develop solutions to environmental problems – from ensuring our drinking water is clean to remediation of environmental hazards. Dalhousie's environmental engineering students will be at the forefront of the development of sustainable solutions for the future of our society.

At the 2019 Dalhousie Engineering Capstone Conference, eight teams of senior environmental engineering students presented projects on topics ranging from water treatment to marine oil spill respone operations to the restoration of Dartmouth's beloved Lake Banook. The posters presenting these projects can be seen below.
