The Environmental Engineering Systems Certificate is offered by the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE). The CEE Department at the University of Illinois has a tradition of training both undergraduate and graduate students in systems analysis approaches and tools to solve complex problems in various areas of CEE. This certificate is designed to meet the growing need for solving real-world problems involving complex interdependent systems, such as food-energy-water-environment systems in a changing environment. New opportunities for enhanced systems education also exist with Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI), as well as emerging knowledge and skills in environmental engineering areas.

Learners who complete this certificate will be equipped to solve complex and interrelated challenges in environmental engineering systems.
