Environmental Engineering
Courses:
The field of Environmental Engineering is broad and interdisciplinary, and it is difficult to define a prescriptive curriculum that covers all areas. Therefore, to best meet the educational objectives of students, our graduate program in Environmental Engineering provides a high degree of flexibility in the coursework. With the assistance of an advisor in the Environmental Engineering Program, the student can develop a course of study that is technically strong, multi-faceted, and concentrates on one or more subject areas of particular interest. Each student is assigned a preliminary advisor upon entering the program who will assist with selection of courses, research topics, and a permanent advisor appropriate for the student’s particular interests.
Recommended Core Courses:
In the environmental engineering program, students select their courses in consultation with their advisor to match their specific needs and interests. While there are three recommended core courses, no specific courses are required at the master’s or doctoral level, which allows each student maximum flexibility to tailor their education.
Recommended core courses: CIVE 540 (Fundamentals of Environmental Biotechnology), CIVE 541 (Physical Chemical Water Treatment Processes), CIVE 538 (Aqueous Chemistry)
