Environmental and Resource Engineering M.S. & Ph.D.
Program Description
-
Water Resources Engineering (WRE) deals with analysis and design of water resource systems through field, laboratory, and computer methods. Field and laboratory experiments involve physical, biological, and chemical metrics, using state of the art technqiues, analyzed with powerful statistical and numerical methods. Modeling efforts integrate GIS and remote sensing tools into distributed and real-time models, using rigorous model calibration and validation components.
Emphasis is placed on coordinating design to optimize benefits for human and natural systems, given environmental, economic, legal, social, and managerial constraints.
