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.) Expand graduates' expertise in advanced environmental management principles, covering key areas such as chemistry, water/wastewater treatment, air pollution control, radioactive waste handling, environmental legislation, global ecological concerns, and economic assessments. Strengthen graduates' capacity to integrate and implement these advanced principles when creating practical environmental solutions, while ensuring safe, ethical, and efficient execution. Improve graduates' proficiency in clearly conveying these concepts through both verbal and written communication.
