The faculty in civil, environmental and sustainable engineering offer a professional program leading to a MSE in civil, environmental and sustainable engineering. The program is designed to bridge the gap between knowledge of engineering sciences and creative engineering practice, while at the same time increasing the depth and breadth of knowledge in selected areas of emphasis. The pattern of course work applicable to the degree is potentially unique for each student, although it must conform to the general guidelines for subject matter content for the degree as authorized here, on the program's website and in the program's graduate handbook. Students are admitted to one of the following specialty areas: environmental engineering geotechnical engineering hydrosystems engineering structural engineering sustainable engineering transportation engineering Environmental engineering is an interdisciplinary field that synthesizes knowledge from a wide range of subjects. People who have careers in environmental engineering often study, provide solutions and implement strategies concerning the quality of air, water and land resources; transport, use and disposal of hazardous wastes; water and wastewater treatment; and water reuse. Environmental engineers lead and are involved in multidisciplinary projects addressing complex issues and changing technologies that are required for sustainable development.
