O que eu aprenderei?

The Environmental Engineering (ENE) Program of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering offers graduate study leading to the MS in environmental and water resources engineering and the PhD in civil engineering (with an environmental and water resources engineering emphasis). The program goals are to educate and prepare engineers for careers in the various fields of environmental engineering design, water supply management, site remediation, environmental modeling, pollution control engineering, water resources engineering, and public health protection.

The MS in environmental engineering is open to students from all undergraduate engineering curricula or in a related field of science such as Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Soil Science, Statistics or Geology. It is specifically designed to build upon undergraduate degrees in civil, biological systems, chemical, mechanical, and mining engineering. Within a few years of program completion, graduates of the ENE program should be able to combine skills gained through academic preparation and post-graduation experience so that they can: Exhibit technical competence through application of engineering knowledge problem-solving skills, and modern tools from multiple areas of environmental engineering practice in the analysis, evaluation, design, and construction of environmental engineering systems and system components. Apply skills of effective communication, teamwork, leadership, and professional and ethical behavior as complements to technical competence. Incorporate economic, environmental, social, and sustainability considerations into the practice of environmental engineering. Continue their technical and professional development, which may include professional licensure, graduate level education, continuing education courses, self-directed study, and participation in conference and committee activities.

The purpose of the core curricula is to develop an understanding of the applicable chemical, physical, biological, and mathematical modeling fundamentals and then teach student how to apply these principles in a broad range of applied courses. Specialization can be in the traditional areas of air quality engineering, environmental modeling and simulation, environmental nanotechnology, hazardous waste management, water infrastructure, water resources engineering and water and wastewater process engineering. Emerging thrust areas include sustainable water supply and water reuse, water infrastructure and environmental nanotechnology.

The MS ENE degree may be taken either as coursework only or with the permission of the faculty may incorporate a research thesis.

The PhD program in Civil Engineering is designed to build upon the MS in environmental engineering, but also is open to students with master's degrees in other engineering disciplines. Areas of specialization are the same as for the MS degree, but the program of study are more individualized.
