Master of Engineering in Environmental and Water Resources Engineering
Requirements:
- Prerequisites - Students admitted to the Environmental and Water Resources
Engineering program are expected to have completed the following courses in natural
sciences (biology, chemistry, and/or physics), mathematics (calculus through differential
equations), and engineering science (fluids and probability and statistics). Students
lacking one or more of these undergraduate preparations may be admitted on the condition
that they complete the necessary coursework during their first year at Tufts. Credits
resulting from the successful completion (i.e., a grade of B or better) of conditional
coursework are required to obtain a degree but may not be used to satisfy graduate
course requirements within the degree program.
- Core Courses (three credits) - The three core courses listed below are designed to
provide students with foundation necessary to integrate knowledge of the processes
controlling the quantity and quality of water within the planning, design, and management
of complex environmental and water resource systems.
- CEE 212 - Chemical Principles for Environmental & Water Resources Eng. (fall semester)
- CEE 213 - Transport Principles for Environmental & Water Resources Eng. (fall semester)
- CEE 214 - Environmental and Water Resources Systems Engineering (spring semester)
- Concentration Courses (four credits) - These courses enable students to study areas of
particular interest in greater depth. Students may select any four of the following
courses to satisfy the concentration requirement.
- CEE 112 - Hydrology and Water Resource Engineering (fall semester)
- CEE 113 - Groundwater Hydrology (fall semester)
- CEE 131 - River Hydraulics (spring semester)
- CEE 132 - Environmental Engineering Processes (fall semester)
- CEE 133 - Water and Wastewater Plant Design (spring semester)
- CEE 134 - Water and Wastewater Chemistry (fall semester)
- CEE 139 - Bioremediation: Natural and Enhanced (spring semester)
- CEE 143 - Site Remediation (spring semester)
- CEE 172 - Fate and Transport of Environmental Contaminants (spring semester)
- CEE 202 - Environmental Statistics
- CEE 203 - Water Quality Modeling (spring semester)
- CEE 239 - Physiochemical Processes in Water and Wastewater Treatment (fall semester*)
- CEE 240 - Biology of Water and Health (fall semester)
- CEE 294AR - Transport in Porous Media (spring semester)
- CEE 293A - Environmental Signal Processing (fall semester *)
- CEE 293B - Water: Constraints, Conflicts, and Cooperation at Boundaries (fall semester *)
- CEE 294K - Integrated Water Resources Management (spring semester)
*course is offered every other year
- Master's Project (one credit) - M.Engg. project may relate to engineering design,
construction, management, operations and/or planning. Students who are practicing
engineers are encouraged to consider projects relevant to their own work. A written
report and an oral presentation are required for CEE 299.
- Elective Courses (two credits) - Electives are designed to provide greater breath or
depth in areas related to the student's research topic. The only restriction placed
on these two electives is that they be recognized (i.e., approved) by the student's
M.S. committee as being relevant to the chosen research topic. Note that in some
scenarios committee approval may occur subsequent to completion of an elective course.
Students wishing to take an elective course prior to identifying thesis committee
members are strongly encouraged to obtain the approval of their thesis advisor
before registering for the course.
- Graduate Environmental Seminar (no credit) - Every student in the Environmental and
Water Resources graduate program is required to attend and participate in the weekly
seminar series. Each M.Engg. student is required to give at least one presentation
related to an ongoing professional project in this seminar series during their
graduate studies.
