Master of Applied Science in Environmental Systems Engineering and Management
Program Overview
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 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.
Internship Option
Students will have the option to do an internship after they have completed the major course requirements of their program. Memorial University has dedicated staff to help students get their internship placements. Additional fees will be charged for the internship.
Entrance Scholarship
Selected highly qualified students will receive an entrance scholarship.
Course Requirements
This program is available on a full-or part-time basis. The anticipated duration of the full-time program is 12 months, three semesters. Students whose undergraduate study was not instructed in English will be required to attend English 9992 (Foundation English for Graduate Students) from July to August, prior to taking advanced courses and project work. As such, the program duration for these students will be 14 months, four semesters.
