Environmental Engineering

The Environmental and Water Resources (EWRE) Engineering Program is in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (see Civil and Environmental Engineering for additional information). The objectives of the EWRE graduate program are that graduates will: (1) enter the environmental engineering profession or continue with Ph.D.-level graduate studies, (2) be recognized by supervisors and colleagues as possessing the skills needed to successfully work in the environmental engineering profession, (3) provide service to society through involvement in professional societies, community groups, charitable organizations or similar activities, and (4) throughout their careers, use educational opportunities to continue to expand their understanding and skills in science and engineering for the protection of human health and the environment. These objectives are achieved through a program carefully prepared by students and their adviser.

Additional coursework and research opportunities are available in drinking water quality and treatment, water, sanitation, and health, municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, water quality and pollution, hydrology, computational methods, remote sensing, electrochemical water treatment, photovoltaic water treatment.
