MASc in Environmental Systems Engineering and Management

Environmental engineering has become an increasingly important discipline due to complexity and multi-disciplinary nature of the environmental issues dealing with human health and ecosystem protection. To find cost-effective engineering solutions to these complex issues, it is important to acquire broad-based education and professional training in inter-disciplinary fields of physical, chemical and biological principles, resource management and mitigation measures besides in-depth knowledge in environmental engineering. This course-based program will cover a wide range of related topics, such as environmental law and management; human health and ecological risk assessment; remediation technology; treatment processes of drinking water and wastewater; contaminant transport and environmental modeling; environmental sampling; and pollution-control engineering. To apply the concepts learned in the classroom and laboratory environments, students will work in teams on an engineering project for two terms. In order to acquire broad-based knowledge in the field, students will be encouraged to take courses from other disciplines in the university.The program can be completed on a full- or part-time basis. The duration of the full-time program is normally 1 to 2 years.MASc – The MASc in Computer Engineering, Energy Systems Engineering, Environmental Systems and Engineering Management, Oil and Gas Engineering, Safety and Risk Engineering, Software Engineering, and Sustainable Infrastructure Engineering involves courses only and can be completed in less than two years of full-time study.Campus:St. John'sApril 1 (graduate diploma, MASc) for Fall admission (all disciplines)August 1 (MASc) for Winter admission (Oil and Gas, Safety and Risk, Sustainable Infrastructure, Environmental Systems Engineering and Management only)
