Environmental engineering is a multidisciplinary field that integrates the principles of physical, chemical, and biological processes with engineering concepts to design solutions to environmental issues. Master of Environmental Engineering is a graduate degree designed for the pursuit of advanced environmental engineering studies in water and wastewater treatment, physical and chemical processes, biological unit operations, hazardous waste treatment, pollution prevention, and other environmental topics. The program is focused on developing future leaders for the engineering profession and academia. It prepares students for careers as consulting engineers, engineers in industry and government, and researchers at universities and industrial laboratories.

The proposed Master of Environmental Engineering has the following objectives:

• Graduates of our program should work as practicing engineers/professionals.
• Graduates of our program should create practical engineering designs and develop sustainable solutions or research projects that are sensitive to economic and social needs and address environmental, public safety, and sustainability concerns.
• Graduates of our program should actively participate and seek leadership positions in professional societies, other worthy organizations, and their workplaces.
