The Department of Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering specializes in environmental, geotechnical, and structural engineering. Environmental engineering is a multidisciplinary field that integrates the principles of physical, chemical, and biological processes with engineering concepts to design solutions to environmental issues. Master of Environmental Engineering is a graduate degree designed for the pursuit of advanced environmental engineering studies in water and wastewater treatment, physical and chemical processes, biological unit operations, hazardous waste treatment, pollution prevention, and other environmental topics. The program is focused on developing future leaders for the engineering profession and academia. It prepares students for careers as consulting engineers, engineers in industry and government, and researchers at universities and industrial laboratories.

The Master of Environmental Engineering has the following objectives:

1. Graduates of our program should work as practicing engineers/professionals.
2. Graduates of our program should create practical engineering designs and develop sustainable solutions or research projects that are sensitive to economic and social needs and address environmental, public safety, and sustainability concerns.
3. Graduates of our program should actively participate and seek leadership positions in professional societies, other worthy organizations, and their workplaces.

Admission to the program requires a bachelor’s degree in engineering or a similar field. The students should have a good knowledge of inorganic chemistry and general biology and should be proficient in physics. Applicants holding non-engineering degrees are considered for admission, but depending on their background, some students may need to fulfill prerequisites or take engineering or math courses such as fluid dynamics, differential equations, thermodynamics, or mechanics.

The Master of Environmental Engineering, like all the graduate engineering degrees in the College of Engineering & Science, may be completed through either a thesis or a non-thesis option.

Students wishing to continue in a doctoral program should see the description for the Doctor of Philosophy with a major in Civil and Environmental Engineering. For more information, click here.
