Environmental Engineering – Water Quality, Treatment, and Recovery (Track A)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Track A is for students with undergraduate degrees in environmental engineering or in civil engineering with an environmental engineering concentration or minor. Students in this track must have previously taken courses in fluid mechanics and hydraulics. Students with undergraduate degrees in other engineering fields such as chemical, biomedical, or mechanical engineering may also qualify for this track depending on their undergraduate courses. Please coordinate with the program director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
