环境工程博士

的 环境工程博士 is a doctoral program in the College of Engineering that gives you the knowledge and the credentials to design large-scale solutions to widespread environmental threats to human health and habitations. 设计生物, chemical and physical strategies to combat the ravages wrought by climate change and daily ecological damage. 

This customizable doctorate allows you to pursue in-depth research in your preferred area of interest. You can choose from current faculty research projects or design your own. 教职员工目前正在进行研究

• 饮用水和废水的高级处理;
• 环境中出现的污染物，
• 环境生物技术,
• 环境污染物的命运与转化;
• 泛滥平原描述,
• 工业废物处理
• 地表和地下水文学.

Use your knowledge to devise original solutions to persisting environmental problems, while developing the credentials to teach environmental engineering at the university level. Small classes held in the evening will provide you with a great amount of flexibility. 系里的课程将持续到2020年, 让你安排一个不间断的学习计划.

You’ll leave the program steeped in diverse approaches to engineering that will make you a well-rounded academic, 工业工程师或研究员. 你也会与你的同伴建立密切的关系, 一个充满活力的学生团体，代表了广泛的种族, 国家和种族身份.
