Sanitary and Environmental Engineering
The UFSC Sanitary and Environmental Engineering program offers comprehensive professional training in methodologies and technologies related to the planning, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and management of various systems, including water supply systems, sanitary sewage, urban and industrial solid waste, industrial effluent treatment, stormwater management, urban drainage, applied hydraulics and hydrology, hydraulic-building installations, and water and air pollution control.
The program also emphasizes the development of actions for diagnosing and characterizing the environment, monitoring and controlling environmental quality, planning water resources, recovering the environment, and preserving and enhancing environmental quality.
The curriculum is structured into three main areas: basic courses (covering calculus, physics, chemistry, biology, and graphic representation), professional engineering courses, and specific courses related to sanitation and the environment. Additionally, students engage in project courses, develop a final project, and complete 360 hours of supervised internships. Complementary research, outreach, and student tutoring activities further enrich the academic experience.
Career opportunities for sanitary and environmental engineers are robust, supported by the regulation of their professional practice and the increasing societal awareness of sanitary and environmental challenges. There is a growing demand in municipal, state, and federal government bodies, consulting firms, and the industrial sector for professionals with technical competence and adequate training to address technological, managerial, and planning issues in sanitation and environmental fields.
