Summary

1 / 3

Recent recorded grades — Spring 2024: 4.00 GPA, 100.0% A/AB (n=26 letter grades); Spring 2025: 3.96 GPA, 97.6% A/AB (n=42 letter grades); Spring 2026: 4.00 GPA, 100.0% A/AB (n=46 letter grades).

What you’ll be able to do

  • Find regulatory requirements for hazardous waste management, remediation, and water quality, and incorporate them as constraints when developing design solutions

  • Develop technically feasible alternative solutions, compare the alternative solutions, and recommend one of the solutions

  • Create plans and specifications that allow construction of a portion of the recommended solution

  • Design experiments necessary to gather data and create information for use in design

  • Implement measures to consider risk, reliability, and uncertainty in hazardous waste management

  • Use the skills and expertise of multiple disciplines on a design team to address complex engineering problems

  • Apply sustainability principles and/or frameworks to addressing the challenge of energy and resource use in hazardous waste remediation

  • Explain the social, economic, and/or environmental dimensions of the sustainability challenge(s) of hazardous waste management

  • Manage a group of undergraduate students through the design process

About this comparison

1280 courses over the same term, each with at least 30 recorded letter grades. Cross-listed courses count once. GPA is not a measure of difficulty or teaching quality. The typical course is the median by recorded grade count; tied values are not counted as lower. Grade counts describe course scale, not unique students or typical section size.

Descriptions compare GPA with this group’s average: at least 0.20 higher or lower; otherwise close to average. Section size uses median recorded enrollment: small up to 30, mid-sized 31–99, large 100+. Lectures and discussion/lab sections are described separately.
