Master's Degree in Environmental Engineering and Environmental Engineering and Science Environmental engineering is evolving into an interdisciplinary field that synthesizes knowledge from a wide range of subjects. The graduate curriculum has been designed to provide a strong foundation in basic physical, chemical, and microbiological principles. The fundamental principles that provide the foundation for environmental engineering are examined in core courses and then applied in one of several tracks. Core Courses Applied Courses Selection of a Track Track Courses Core Courses The increasing breadth and complexity of environmental engineering means that technical solutions must be sought by applying physical, chemical, and biological principles in innovative ways. Core courses examine these fundamental principles and illustrate how they are applied in solving a wide range of environmental problems. All students entering the program must take the following basic core courses: Environmental Chemistry (CEE 5104) Environmental Engineering Principles (CEE 5894) Environmental Chemistry Laboratory (CEE 5704) Environmental Engineering Seminar (CEE 5944) Applied Courses These courses emphasize the application of fundamental principles to specific areas of environmental engineering and science. Course content may change rapidly in response to changes within the field. Applied courses fall into the following three categories:  Track Courses Generally, two or three track core courses are required with selection from a range of options permitted in some cases. For the flexible track, a requirement is that it contain at least two CEE 5000 level courses from within Environmental Engineering.  Design Courses These track courses detail the design process within specific areas of environmental engineering. The design process will integrate various elements of the curriculum, will be open-ended and will require substantial written and oral communication as well as teamwork.  Elective Courses Courses from within the Environmental Engineering Program as well as a wide range of those from other departments complete the educational objectives for each track. A list of recommended electives is provided at the end of this document. Any of the Courses (other than Seminar CEE 5944) may be taken as electives. Selection of a Track The Master’s Degree Program offers 6 tracks. Five tracks are areas of emphasis for the MS CE and MS ENE degrees: Water and Wastewater Process Engineering, Air Processing Engineering, Natural Systems Engineering, Geo-environmental Engineering, and the Flexible Option. The sixth track is the Environmental Science track for the MS ESEN degree. Students will be required to produce a one-page statement justifying their choice of track. These statements, accompanied by the Program of Study, are due by the end of November and require formal approval during a full faculty meeting.
