• The program is focused on innovative research geared towards developing new technologies and practices that ensure one has clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, clean soil to grow crops and clean energy to sustain society. The goal is to reduce the impact of society on the environment.
  • The programs are offered through the Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Environmental Engineering which allows the graduate students to take courses at both Carleton and the University of Ottawa.
  • The specialization of the program includes:
    • Air Pollution
    • Management of Solid and Hazardous Waste
    • Water Resources and Groundwater Management
    • Water and Waste Water Processing and Treatment
    • Environmental Impact Assessment, Sustainability and Climate Change
    • Green Buildings
    • Master’s student can elect to take a Collaborative Specialization in Climate Change
  • In addition to the courses associated with the individual areas, students will be encouraged to select courses from fundamental areas such as chemistry, numerical modelling, and applied statistics.
  • Master's candidates transferring from another university must take at least half their courses at the Institute.
