- Environmental engineering has become an increasingly important discipline due to the complexity and multi-disciplinary nature of the environmental issues dealing with human health and ecosystem protection.
- To find cost-effective engineering solutions to these complex issues, it is important to acquire broad-based education and professional training in interdisciplinary fields of physical, chemical, and biological principles, resource management, and mitigation measures besides in-depth knowledge in environmental engineering.
- This course-based program will cover a wide range of related topics, such as environmental law and management; human health and ecological risk assessment; remediation technology; treatment processes of drinking water and wastewater; contaminant transport and environmental modeling; environmental sampling; and pollution-control engineering.
- To apply the concepts learned in the classroom and laboratory environments, students will work in teams on an engineering project for two terms. In order to acquire broad-based knowledge in the field, students will be encouraged to take courses from other disciplines in the university.
- The program can be completed on a full- or part-time basis. The duration of the full-time program is normally 1 to 2 years.
- The total credit requirement to complete this course-based program is 30 credit hours
