This program offers students comprehensive technical education in environmental engineering, focusing particularly on hazardous waste management and remediation. It addresses the growing demand in both industry and government for experts with in-depth technical knowledge of environmental challenges. Participants typically need a solid foundation in mathematics and chemistry (at least one year of general chemistry). Those lacking adequate engineering or math preparation must complete supplementary coursework as recommended by their advisory committee (often including ME 3307, CE 3332, CE 3341) (Note: Consult an advisor for approved and elective course lists, which may be adjusted with advisor approval). The curriculum deepens graduates' understanding of advanced environmental control and remediation principles, covering key areas such as chemistry, water/wastewater quality, air quality, radioactive material management, environmental regulations, global ecological concerns, and cost-benefit analysis. It strengthens graduates' capacity to integrate and implement these advanced principles in practical environmental engineering solutions, ensuring safe, ethical, and efficient execution. The program also develops graduates' proficiency in clearly communicating these concepts through both verbal and written presentations.
