Online Environmental Engineering Degree :: Accredited Universities

The Master of Environmental Engineering (MENE) is designed for students with an undergraduate degree in an engineering discipline who wish to pursue a graduate degree. Students who do not have an undergraduate degree in civil engineering, environmental engineering, or construction engineering and management may have to complete additional course work prior to being accepted into the program. Areas of concentration include air quality and air pollution prevention and control, groundwater hydrology, contamination and remediation, geoenvironmental engineering, environmental exposure and risk assessment, solid waste management, water and water treatment, and water resources. No thesis is required.

Entry Requirements

Prerequisites for admission to the MENE degree include an accredited undergraduate degree in civil or environmental engineering or its equivalent with an overall GPA of 3.0. The Graduate Record Exam (GRE) is required for admissions into the degree program; however, this may be waived upon request from students with engineering or closely related undergraduate degrees that have a strong mathematical curriculum.

The TOEFL or IELTS scores (no more than two years old) are required for international applicants unless they have completed one year of study at a university in the United States, Canada or Great Britain.

This course is designed to enable engineers and other technical specialists to take a leadership role in the field of environmental engineering.

The course combines a set of key subjects that contain information on the nature of environmental problems together with engineering techniques for their solution. This is supplemented by management and policy subjects to empower the engineer, or technical specialist, to lead multidisciplinary teams working in the field of environmental engineering.

Entry Requirements

Applicants must have completed a UTS recognised bachelor's degree, or an equivalent or higher qualification, or submitted other evidence of general and professional qualifications that demonstrates potential to pursue graduate studies.

Previous qualifications must be in engineering or another technological/applied science field. Candidates without a degree, but with suitable experience, may enrol in the Graduate Certificate in Environmental Engineering Management (C11051) and later transfer to the Master of Environmental Engineering Management with full credit for completed subjects.

The Centre for Environmental and Health Engineering (CEHE) is a well-established multidisciplinary postgraduate centre with an international reputation for excellence in water and environmental engineering. It is part of a World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Centre and an invited member of the UNICEF WASH Cluster Group of Relief Agencies. In 2011, the University of Surrey received the Queen’s Anniversary Award for the outstanding teaching and research in water and sanitation taking place in CEHE.

The MSc programme is highly popular and relevant to the needs of future engineers, scientists and professionals in the environmental health, water, wastewater, pollution control, waste management and environmental sectors.

The programme attracts UK and overseas graduates who wish to take advantage of the considerable global interest in water, wastewater, sanitation and waste to develop their careers. Opportunities exist for graduates to work for consultancies, water utilities, contractors, relief agencies, regulatory bodies and international organisations. Students have the potential to progress to relevant specialist PhD or EngD research programmes in the field.

In the past, scholarship students have been accepted from a range of schemes, including Foreign Office and British Council Chevening, World Bank, Commonwealth, Thames Water, Commonwealth Shared Scholarships and the Royal Academy of Engineering, together with students from numerous overseas national schemes.

Entry Requirements

Applicants should possess a minimum 2.2 honours degree or equivalent in any appropriate engineering or science-related degree. Candidates with suitable qualifications and relevant experience in engineering, science or technology are also welcome to apply.

This degree program combines theoretical principles with the hands-on experience and technical courses related to the understanding of biological, chemical, geological and engineering principles applied to the environment. Aspects unique to assessment of the quality of air, water and soil; the management of pollutants and waste products and sustainable development are emphasized. The Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Environmental Studies) Degree is normally a three year (six academic term) program. Graduates from this program have successful careers in engineering consulting, with all levels of government and industry and in various public corporations.

General Undergraduate Admission Requirements
An overall average of 65% is required for all students applying to most CBU credit programs based on high school performance. Additional requirements may apply to specific programs.
If space permits, CBU will accept all candidates who can verify that they have met the minimum entry requirements established by CBU for the programs in which they wish to enroll.
Note: CBU does not guarantee that applications completed after August 1, will be processed for September registration.
High School Graduates: Five Grade 12 advanced or academic courses including English, Mathematics and two sciences (Physics and Chemistry are recommended, with an overall average of at least 60%). Environmental Science 12 may be used as the second science with biology, chemistry or physics.
Diploma/Degree Graduates: Appropriately accredited community college diploma at the technologist level or university science degree, where the programs are a reasonable match. CBU has agreements with many colleges which specify the matching programs and, in some cases, matching courses that allow transfer credits.
Partially Completed Diploma/Degree: Admissions and course selection will be done on an individual basis in consultation with an academic advisor from the Engineering Department.

Notes

Admission Paths
Students may enter Cape Breton University by any of three paths, subject to restrictions of space and program capacity.
1. High school graduates who satisfy the admission requirements of their chosen program.
2. Students who transfer from another post-secondary institution and who are in good standing at that institution and who satisfy the admission requirements for their chosen program. Transfer students may be able to obtain credit in their CBU programs for courses taken elsewhere.
3. Students may also be admitted as non-traditional learners.
Students who enter CBU through any of the above paths and who have not made a final decision in a program may register as students in No Specific Program.
Applicants will be required to submit official documents (e.g. transcripts from other institutions) when they apply for admission. Normally these documents are sent directly from the other institutions to CBU.
Students will also require the approval of the relevant School Dean to register at another university or college while attending CBU.
International Admission Requirements
• Applications for admissions from international students will be reviewed on an individual basis.
• We require graduation from an academic secondary school program or equivalent, with an average of ‘C’ in five senior academic-level/university preparatory courses.
• Please see the International Admissions section of ourAcademic Calendar or contact our International Admissions/Transfer Credit Advisor, if you have questions about country-specific requirements.
Applicants whose first language is not English must provide documentation to show that CBU’s English language proficiency requirements have been met. Our full English language proficiency policy is detailed in our Academic Calendar.

From microscopic electronic devices to super structures like dams, bridges and towers, the vast scope of engineering touches every area of our lives. Engineering is about extending our horizons by solving technical problems, although engineers would say they create solutions to challenges – a far more imaginative activity. The BEng (Hons) explores the fundamentals of this creative and analytical subject– from materials and mechanics to design and modelling – with opportunities to focus on engineering design, environmental technologies, energy and sustainability or mathematical methods.
