Environmental Engineering

Program Requirements M.A.Sc. Environmental Engineering (5.0 credits) Study at the master's level can be pursued through a thesis leading to a M.A.Sc., a project option leading to a M.Eng., or a coursework option leading to a M. Eng. The requirements for coursework are specified in terms of credits. At Carleton University, 1.0 credit typically comprises three hours of lectures or seminars a week for two terms, or the equivalent. At the University of Ottawa, 1.0 course credit is one hour of instruction per week for one term. Thus 1.0 credit in Carleton University notation is equivalent to 6 course credits in the University of Ottawa notation. The requirements are: Requirements - Thesis option: 1. 2.5 credits in courses, with at least 0.5 credit from each of at least three of the areas of study listed below 2.5 2. Participation in the graduate seminar series: 0.0 ENVE 5800 [0.0] Master's Seminar (participation in the graduate seminar series) 3. 2.5 credits in: 2.5 ENVE 5909 [2.5] Master's Thesis (including successful oral defence) Note: no more than 0.5 credit may be taken from the following: ENVE 5008 , ENVE 5101 , ENVE 5200 , ENVE 5201 , ENVE 5301 Total Credits 5.0 M.Eng. Environmental Engineering (5.0 credits)

Breadth Requirement In keeping with the objective of ensuring a breadth of knowledge for graduates of the program, students in the master's program are expected to take at least one graduate level course from each of at least three of the following areas of study: Air Pollution Water Resources Management, Groundwater Management and Contaminant Transport Management of Solid, Hazardous, and Radioactive Waste, and Pollution Prevention Water and Wastewater Treatment Environmental Impact Assessment, Sustainability and Climate Change This requirement serves the objectives of educating graduate professionals who are not only specialized in one area but who are sufficiently familiar with problems and different approaches in the other areas to enable them to interact readily at a technical level with colleagues working in those areas. In addition to the courses associated with the individual areas, students will be encouraged to select courses from fundamental areas such as chemistry, numerical modelling, and applied statistics. In the M.A.Sc., the required number of areas of study may be reduced on admission by approval of the program's Associate Chair (Graduate Studies) depending on the incoming student's background. Master's candidates transferring from another university must take at least half their courses at the Institute. M.A.Sc. Environmental Engineering with Collaborative Specialization in Climate Change (5.0 credits)
