Academic Information

This plan will not be available to new students after Summer 2024

This program is no longer accepting students. NAU has integrated this program into the Environmental Engineering MS program as a non-thesis option of the MS degree.

This non-thesis program is designed for practicing professionals and allows you to build additional expertise in the environmental engineering areas of water resources, air pollution control, sustainable engineering, hydrogeology, biotechnology and the design of constructed and natural remediation systems. Students graduating from this program can design solutions to complex environmental problems, and are prepared to become registered professional engineers specializing in environmental engineering in their future careers.

Careers

What Can I Do with a Master of Engineering in Environmental Engineering?

Society’s demand for essentials such as clean air, food and water, sustainable land use and consumer products pose large-scale, practical problems. Environmental engineers use engineering, biological and chemical principles to design and operate pollution control and impact mitigation systems. Learn to be part of the solution to some of society’s greatest challenges when you study environmental engineering at the graduate level at NAU. This program leads to exciting careers in the public or private sectors where you can make a difference.

With further education, one of these paths is possible:
  • Researcher
  • Sustainability engineer
  • Engineering consultant
  • Field engineer

Student Learning Outcomes

Purpose Statement

The Master of Engineering is a non-thesis professional degree, based primarily on course work and/or on an engineering project designed with the guidance of a faculty advisor to address a need or problem specific to their engineering field of study (Civil, Environmental, Electrical, or Mechanical Engineering).  This degree program is designed to provide a broad, practice-based education.

Student Learning Outcomes
Students will:
 
Demonstrate the ability to apply graduate level critical thinking skills to formulate and solve advanced civil (electrical/environmental/mechanical) engineering problems.

Demonstrate the ability to, independently and creatively, design, plan, and conduct complex civil (electrical/environmental/mechanical) engineering projects;Demonstrate the ability to communicate effectively the results of a comprehensive research project through oral presentations and publications.
