This program is comprised of faculty from different departments in the Faculty
of Engineering who have research interests in the multidisciplinary field of Environmental Engineering. Graduate education in Environmental Engineering develops a strong foundation in science and engineering principles which are applied to the solution of important problems related to sustainable utilization of natural resources and protection of the environment. Areas of study include energy and the environment, soil and water quality management, waste management and remediation, pollution control, and environmental assessment.
Field Research
Graduate students can also conduct field research studies on soil erosion, biochemical transport phenomena, engineered wetlands, bio-waste composting and bioremediation at the Bio-Environmental Engineering Centre jointly administered by the Faculty of Engineering and the Nova Scotia Agricultural College located in Truro, Nova Scotia.
