The environmental engineering field in the graduate program focuses primarily on urban facilities and environment as well as environmental informatics.
Within this focus, it emphasizes the analysis of water and waste
systems (e.g. sewage, wastewater, drinking water supply, municipal solid
wastes); and, the data infrastructure required to support these and
other systems in the urban environment and, environmental geomatics
technologies including environmental remote sensing and GIS-based
environmental decision support systems. Particular social and political
issues that arise in these types of analyses relate to sustainable urban
systems, and the possibilities for integration across urban systems.
Under this field, endless possibilities of interaction exist between the
proposed program and the existing masters program in Environmental
Applied Science and Management in which many civil engineering faculty
members are involved.
