Position yourself to become a global leader in addressing emerging challenges linked to water resources and energy transitions driven by climate change and urbanization.
Our M.Eng. concentration in Environmental Engineering can be completed in two semesters of intensive study. The degree requires 30 credit hours consisting of coursework in major and supporting areas as well as a capstone project.
Our curriculum focuses on building domain knowledge, advancing your technical toolkit, and developing skills that are desired by employers in a variety of sectors including engineering design and consulting, data analytics and technology innovations, industry and manufacturing, and research and policy analysis. Students learn to identify problems, analyze data, and interpret the results of analyses to inform technical solutions.

Electives
Each student’s program includes X-credits of “core” coursework. The “core” coursework is designed to give all M.Eng. students with a concentration in environmental engineering the desired breadth across our four focus areas of specialization.
In addition to the required “core” courses, each student’s program must include at least X-credits worth of electives selected to provide a track area of specialization. To help meet these requirements, we have put together four track areas of specialization plus a “build your own track” tied to common career paths of M.Eng. program graduates.
