Technical Electives

*Please click here for instructions on how to register for technical electives.

ENVE students are required to complete 12 credits of technical electives. The following courses may not be offered every year and seats are not guaranteed. The earlier your registration time is, the better chance you will have in getting into your preferred electives.

Students may select their technical electives as follows:

• A minimum of 6 credits from the PRIMARY list:

CIVL 413     Design of Earth Dams and Containment Structures

CIVL 415     Water Resource Engineering

CIVL 417     Coastal Engineering (MATH 230 at UNBC is an acceptable prerequisite for CIVL 417, although students will need to contact the CIVL Department per the instructions here in order to register on this basis. This course conflicts with CHBE 459, so in order to register in this course, you will need to register in CIVL 403 and drop CHBE 459)

CIVL 475      Environmental Stewardship in Civil Engineering

CHBE 483    Energy Engineering

CHBE 486    Waste Management for Resource Recovery

APSC 486    New Venture Design (application deadline is May 15, 2020 – click here for more details)

MINE 491     Mine and Plant Engineering Design Feasibility Study (register as soon as possible to ensure enough environmental-specific projects are sourced from industry, and note minor course conflicts can be accommodated)

• Remaining credits from the SECONDARY list (up to 6 credits can be at the 300-level):
