Description
Sustainability policies and programs are now entering the mainstream
in all aspects of the US and global economy. Since sustainability involves
the successful integration of environmental, economic and social aspects
of any issue, 21st Century Engineers will require a broad mindset and tools
to solve these challenges. There is a growing demand for engineers in the
corporate, consulting, governmental, and non-profit sectors to undertake
work either directly or indirectly involving sustainability opportunities.
The Environmental Sustainability track is targeted toward the engineer seeking
an overall understanding of how to apply sustainable solutions to complex
problems. It is the "generalist" track among the four tracks within the MS
in Sustainable Engineering.

Explanation of Track Curriculum
After completing the three MS Core courses, the student will have a thorough
understanding of the scope, principles and tools for identifying issues
and solving problems related to Sustainability challenges. The Environmental
Sustainability Track elective courses are designed to allow the student
to build on the MS Core courses based on their individual needs and interests.
The student can select four courses from among the list to the left. In addition,
the student can pursue either a thesis or elective course option. With elective
courses, a student can select up to three courses from within the MS program
but outside of the Environmental Sustainability track.
