Environmental Sciences and Engineering Introduction
The Environmental Science and Engineering (ESEN) program is designed to prepare undergraduates with a science background to work with engineers in various fields including, water supply, wastewater management, public health, watershed management, stream protection, groundwater remediation and air resource management. Appropriate disciplines include, but are not limited to biology, chemistry, geology, agronomy, soil science and environmental science. A wide range of courses can be taken to fulfill the degree requirements, depending on the background and interests of the student.
The purpose of the core curricula is to develop an understanding of the applicable chemical, physical, biological, and mathematical modeling fundamentals and then teach students how to apply these principles, along with their previous scientific training, to the solution of environmental problems. Appropriate employment is with consulting firms, regulatory agencies, municipalities and industry.
The program administratively is under the direction of the Head of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (http://www.cee.vt.edu/) and the program direction is by a faculty committee from Departments in the College of Engineering, Agriculture and Science.
Special Requirements
The master's programs have no foreign language requirement.
