Sustainability in the curriculum
Marquette offers several opportunities to take courses that have some form of sustainability integrated into them. Here is a list of some of those courses:
Interdisciplinary Minor in Environmental Ethics (INEE)
The INEE provides undergraduate students with the intellectual resources needed to reflect on the ethical dimensions of environmental issues. Five core courses develop student's knowledge and skills in the natural sciences and the theological and philosophical traditions that are relevant to the minor. It culminates in a capstone seminar during which students will identify the ethical questions pertaining to a particular environmental problem and develop approaches to its resolution. When appropriate and feasible, students serve in private and public organizations, government agencies and businesses that are addressing the problem. Students are encouraged to take courses in their primary fields of study that complement INEE and to draw upon them during their capstone experiences. The director of the program is Dr. Jame Schaefer.
Visit the INEE Web site for more information. If you know of any other classes that should be added to the list, please e-mail them to us.
Environmental Engineering Major
Marquette students are able to clean up the planet by specializing in environmental and water resources to learn the fundamentals of designing systems for water resources and supply, wastewater treatment and disposal, air pollution control, and solid and hazardous waste management.
Visit the Explore Marquette site as well as the department's site for additional information.

Thomas H. and Suzanne M. Werner Chair in Secure and Renewable Energy Systems
Thomas H. Werner and Suzanne M. Werner, a couple from California, has pledged $5 million to the Marquette University College of Engineering to establish an endowed chair in secure and renewable energy systems. The new chair will lead a multidisciplinary research cluster of four to six faculty and develop a cutting-edge curriculum.
