Plan for A Better Future in Environmental Engineering

Advance your career in engineering with a Master of Science in Environmental Engineering from UCF. The program requires a civil, environmental or closely-related bachelor’s degree. The program emphasizes environmental engineering unit operations and processes for potable water treatment and municipal wastewater treatment, as well as air pollution dispersion modeling and controls, and municipal solid waste landfills.

Environmental Engineering at UCF

The Master of Science in Environmental Engineering, offered through the Department of Civil, Environmental and Construction Engineering, focuses on pollution control, pollution prevention and the correction of pollution effects on natural and man-made environments. Students will pursue coursework in drinking water treatment, wastewater treatment, solid and hazardous waste management, atmospheric pollution control and modeling, community noise abatement and stormwater management. Our graduate students have opportunities to conduct research at the Environmental Systems Engineering Institute, which conducts environmental research with a focus on water quality, and the Stormwater Management Academy, which provides leading research and educational materials to influence public policy and procedures that protect valuable waters.

At the graduate level, UCF students can choose to pursue a Master of Science in Environmental Engineering (M.S.EnvE) or the environmental engineering M.S., which offers the following track:

Environmental Engineering Sciences Track
This track in the environmental engineering program is for students with a science, math, or a similar background, and usually requires a number of undergraduate engineering courses as articulation to become fully prepared for graduate work in environmental engineering. It is designed specifically for students with non-environmental engineering degrees.

Where Graduates Work

Environmental engineering graduate students help develop novel solutions to the problems of today, improve the quality of the environment to create safe and sustainable communities. Florida has the third highest demand nationally for qualified environmental engineers. Many of our graduates go on to pursue careers in consulting, government, higher education and industry. You’ll also be prepared to take examinations for professional licensure or certification in the field to further your career opportunities.
