This inter-departmental graduate study program leads to a Master’s of Engineering degree with a concentration in Environmental Engineering. The objective of the program is to train environmental professionals at an advanced level. The program is thus designed for individuals with an undergraduate degree in engineering. This non-thesis degree falls within the M.Eng programs which are offered in the Departments of Bioresource, Chemical, Civil, Mining, and Materials Engineering. The Environmental Engineering program emphasizes interdisciplinary fundamental knowledge, practical applications in diverse environmental contexts and functional skills needed for solving environmental problems. Students will acquire a broader perspective and awareness of environmental issues through a wide range of technical and non-technical courses offered by collaborating departments and faculties at the university. Depending on the primary departmental affiliation of the student, the program may include a 5-15 credit project or may be completed with courses only. Typical required and complementary courses available are given below (students are encouraged to contact the program administrator in their respective departments for updated course offerings).
