Environmental Studies Overview

�鶹ӳ��Ӱ��'s Master of Science in Environmental Studies is a hybrid engineering-environmental science degree. Your coursework will prepare you for a career in environmentally-related engineering disciplines having to do with air and water quality and other environmental systems in industry.

This program differs from the environmental science programs in that it contains a focused engineering component. Compared to the environmental engineering programs, it includes a broader scientific perspective on industry's responsibility to preserve and protect our planet's natural resources as it utilizes them.

LU's small class sizes allow professors to engage with you on a personal basis. We also have a bi-annual career fair to bring local industry and students together for co-op and career opportunities.

Our department will provide you with high quality and accessible education, engage and empower you with skills and knowledge to thrive in your professional career and foster economic and technological development of Southeast Texas and beyond.

Environmental Studies Courses You May Take

Computer Aided Design: This course provides an in-depth exploration of computer-aided design (CAD) tools and methodologies applied to civil and environmental engineering projects. Students will develop advanced skills in 2D drafting and 3D modeling using industry-standard software such as AutoCAD Civil 3D and BIM platforms. Emphasis is placed on integrating CAD with civil infrastructure design processes, including transportation systems, site development, water resources, and structural components

Engineering Project Management: Principles governing the effective and efficient management of engineering projects including the application of comprehensive planning, scheduling, and cost estimation procedures. Presentation of oral and written design reports.

Fundamentals of Air Pollution: Pollutant sources, emissions and transport. Air pollution control methods. Particulate collection theory, gaseous pollutant removal theory. Atmospheric sampling and analysis methods. May be repeated for credit when the subject matter varies.

Water Supply and Treatment: An investigation of the chemistry of water treatment processes including the study of treatment process selection and associated design parameters.

Biological Wastewater Treatment: Principles of treatment for domestic and industrial wastewaters with emphasis on process kinetics and biological action.
