專業(yè)概況
在這里學(xué)什么？
Environmental engineers are the technical professionals who identify and design solutions for environmental problems. Environmental engineers provide safe drinking water, treat and properly dispose of wastes, maintain air quality, control water pollution, and remediate sites contaminated due to spills or improper disposal of hazardous substances. They monitor the quality of the air, water, and land, and develop new and improved means to protect the environment.
Although many people are concerned about the state of our environment, environmental engineers are the people who do things to protect it from damage and to correct existing problems. Environmental engineers possess the scientific and technical knowledge to identify, design, build, and operate systems that make modern society possible.
The environmental engineering field and environmental engineering education are multi-disciplinary. They involve traditional engineering components such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering design. But environmental engineering education and practice also includes a range of other disciplines, such as biology, microbiology, ecology, public health, geology, meteorology, economics, political science, and computer science. To address the spectrum of issues facing the environment, environmental engineers are broadly educated and technically trained.
Curriculum
CEE offers both thesis and non-thesis options for the Master of Science with a major in environmental engineering. Either option must be approved by the student’s major professor. Both options require completion of a set of core courses related to the student’s selected concentration.
Thesis Option
A minimum of 30 credit hours of approved graduate courses, including 6 credit hours of thesis and 24 credit hours of coursework. A minor may be selected but is not required.
Non-Thesis Option
A minimum of 30 credit hours of approved graduate courses is required, which may include a three-hour special problems course to be completed under the direction of the student’s major professor. A minor may be selected but is not necessarily required. All non-thesis MS students are required to take a culminating written examination. The written exam is offered twice a year once each in the fall and spring semesters.
Concentrations (Optional)
Water Resources Engineering
Where do Environmental Engineers Work?
Environmental engineers work in many places such as
- engineering consulting firms that design and construct water pollution-control systems,
- industries that need to treat their air or wastewater discharges,
- private and municipal agencies that supply drinking water,
- companies that treat and dispose of hazardous chemicals,
- companies that operate treatment facilities for municipalities or industries,
- government agencies that monitor and regulate waste discharges,
- universities that teach and conduct research on environmental control,
- private and government laboratories that develop the new generations of pollution-control systems,
- international agencies that transfer knowledge and technology to the developing world, and
- public-interest groups that advocate environmental protection.
