Master of Science 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 - Environmental Chemistry (fall semester)
- CEE 213 - Principles of Transport and Reaction in the Environment (fall semester)
- CEE 214 - Environmental and Water Resources Systems Engineering (spring semester)
- Concentration Courses (three credits) - These courses enable students to study
areas of particular interest in greater depth. Students may select any three of the
following courses, in consultation with his/her advisor, to satisfy the concentration
requirement. Note that students opting for a M.Engg. project are required to take four
concentration courses.
- 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 293A - Environmental Signal Processing (fall semester *)
- CEE 293B - Water: Constraints, Conflicts, and Cooperation at Boundaries (fall semester *)
- CEE 294AR - Transport in Porous Media (spring semester)
- CEE 294K - Integrated Water Resources Management (spring semester)
*course is offered every other year
- Thesis (two credits) - The M.S. thesis is the culmination of concentrated study
in a specific area of research within environmental and water resources
engineering. Thesis work contributes two course credits toward the M.S.
degree (CEE-295 and CEE-296).
- 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.S. student is required to give at least one
presentation related to their research in this seminar series during their
graduate studies.
