Master of Engineering - Environmental Engineering

School of Engineering and Science

Environmental engineering has traditionally been taught as a branch of civil engineering concerned with the supply of safe drinking water and the sanitary disposal of municipal wastes. The field has expanded in recent years to include many new areas, such as the treatment of industrial and hazardous wastes, the prediction of the fate and transport of pollutants in the environment, and the design of systems for remediation of sites contaminated with hazardous wastes. This has placed new demands on engineers to understand the fundamental environmental transformation processes that describe natural and engineered systems.


The Environmental Engineering graduate program is divided into three areas of concentration: Environmental Processes, Groundwater and Soil Pollution Control, and Inland and Coastal Environmental Hydrodynamics.

The Master in Environmental Engineering requires 30 graduate credits in an approved plan of study. Credits can be obtained by performing research in the form of a master’s thesis. All courses listed below are for 3 credits unless otherwise noted.


The courses shown in bold could be taken via Stevens online WebCampus or at the local university before the student comes to the Stevens campus.


Core Courses:

  • CE 565 Numerical Methods for Civil and Environmental Engineering

  • EN 541 Fate and Transport of Environmental Contaminants
  • EN 570 Environmental Chemistry

Students take 4 courses in one of the following Concentrations:

  • Environmental Control Processes
    • EN 506 Air Pollution Principles and Control

    • EN 550 Environmental Chemistry of Atmospheric Processes

  • Groundwater and Soil Pollution Control
    • EN 686 Groundwater Hydrology and Pollution


The remaining three courses are electives selected in consultation with the academic advisor. Electives may be concentrated in specific areas, including:

  • Modeling of Environmental Processes
  • Water Resources
  • Air Pollution Control
  • Environmental Sustainability
  • Hazardous Waste Management
