The Environmental Engineering Program is in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (see Civil and Environmental Engineering for additional information). The objectives of the Program are to: 1. educate environmental engineers so that they are capable of addressing both current and future environmental problems; 2. promote a sense of professionalism and leadership among Environmental Engineering students; 3. generate and disseminate new knowledge needed to implement rational solutions to problems affecting human health and the environment; and 4. provide a leadership role to the environmental engineering profession. These objectives are achieved through a program carefully prepared by students and their adviser. The basic understanding of environmental problems is obtained from a core of fundamental courses that relate theory to design practices.

Additional coursework and research opportunities are available in drinking water problems and treatment, groundwater hydraulics and quality, hazardous wastes, municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, solid wastes, water quality and pollution, water resources, and water supply.

Research opportunities are provided in the Program's laboratories.

Brochures containing detailed information on the requirements for the Master of Science degree through the Environmental Engineering Program are available from the Environmental Engineering Graduate Program Director, email: ceedgrad@ecs.umass.edu. This information may also be obtained from the Web site: www.umass.edu/cee/eve. Students also have the option of pursuing the Master of Science degree, with a concentration in Environmental Engineering, offered by the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (see Civil and Environmental Engineering for Requirements).
