Combining engineering and management to address
environmental issues
environmental issues
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 MSEV Program
The 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, such as architectural, biological, chemical, civil, electrical, industrial, manufacturing or mechanical.
Topics covered
in the MSEV degree include 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.
Flexible Choices
The MSEV program builds upon a student's solid foundation in engineering principles. In addition to the required courses, the program offers a choice of elective courses in three specialization areas:
- Water and wastewater treatment
- Air, soil and ground water remediation
- Environmental Management
Students
may mix or match electives to obtain a personalized program that satisfies
their individual professional interests.
Convenient and Meaningful Education
Courses are offered evenings so students can pursue a professional career while advancing their knowledge and skills. Class sizes are small to encourage interaction and network building.
All courses are taught by professors with extensive industry-related
experience, in addition to their academic credentials. Instruction focuses on
the practical application of theory, allowing students to use what they learn
in the classroom the next day in the workplace.
