M.S. in Environmental Engineering

Michigan Tech offers a full complement of graduate programs in environmental engineering and environmental engineering science. Sustainability is integrated throughout the whole curriculum so that students naturally address it with every decision that they make. Graduate students develop a deeper understanding of how engineered systems impact the natural environment. Research areas include air quality engineering, atmospheric sciences, drinking water and wastewater treatment, environmental microbiology and chemistry, groundwater and subsurface remediation, hydrology and water resources, international development, surface water quality, sustainability, and pollution prevention. Research highlights include global and regional atmospheric impacts; photochemical formation of ozone in remote troposphere; environmental organic chemistry and reductive dehalogenation; surface water quality modeling; algal ecology; fate and transport of chemicals in lakes and rivers; biogeochemistry of trace metals; wetlands biological processes; industrial ecology and pollution prevention; and physical and chemical treatment processes.
