Your Future in Innovation Starts at Carleton
Tackle challenges impacting our globe by learning to build sustainable cities, develop renewable energy or protect ecosystems. Programs prepare you for careers in engineering, urban planning, clean energy, environmental policy and research.
Feature Programs
Architectural Conservation and Sustainability Engineering
Learn how to blend heritage conservation with cutting-edge sustainable design: retrofit historic buildings, model energy use and engineer high-performance, green building systems.
Environmental Engineering
Design systems that support a more sustainable future — improving clean water access, waste management and pollution control to reduce our impact on the planet.
Environmental Science
Learn to analyze environmental systems and address global issues like climate change and ecosystem health through science, data, and field research.
Sustainable and Renewable Energy Engineering
Design, build, and optimize renewable energy systems (like solar, wind, geothermal), smart grids and efficient energy conversion, to drive clean, sustainable power for the future.
After receiving a Dean’s Summer Research Internship, Enviromental Science student Quinn McKinney joined a partnership between Biology and Architectural Studies to explore making building materials from nanocellulose fibres derived from hemp or recycled cardboard.
