In today's industrial world, environmental issues permeate and affect virtually every technical and business decision. Practicing engineers in a variety of positions - manufacturing, design, research and development, management and plant engineering - need a firm grounding in the various aspects of environmental engineering in order to perform effectively on the job.

The Master of Science in Environmental Engineering (MSEV) program is designed to provide expertise in environmental systems and environmental management issues. It is tailored to the student who already has a bachelor of science degree in a traditional engineering discipline. Topics in areas such as environmental law, pollution control, solid and hazardous waste management, water and wastewater treatment, plant safety and OSHA issues, environmental risk assessment, soil and groundwater remediation are presented.

This program is also designed as a five-year, two-degree program.
