Engineering - Geography and Environmental Engineering at Johns Hopkins University at Main

The Master of Science in Engineering (MSE) in Geography and Environmental Engineering is housed in the Whiting School of Engineering (WSE) on the Homewood campus. Students in this program have the unique opportunity to take classes on both the WSE Homewood and JHSPH East Baltimore campuses in order to complete their degree requirements.

The Geography and Environmental Engineering, Master of Science in Engineering (MSE) is designed to prepare students with an ABET-accredited undergraduate engineering degree, or equivalent, to enter the workforce as leaders in the field. Students have five tracks to choose from, each with unique curricular requirements.

M.S.E. Tracks:

• CONTAMINANT FATE AND TRANSPORT: Emphasizes understanding the physical, chemical, and biological phenomena that affect the movement and transformation of pollutants in the environment.
• ENVIRONMENTAL PROCESS ENGINEERING: Involves the analysis and design of processes of water treatment, waste treatment, and environmental remediation, and includes a solid grounding in the chemical, biological, and physical principles underlying treatment and remediation technologies.
• WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERING: Combines a solid grounding in environmental fluid mechanics and hydrology with electives in modeling, water development planning, policy, and contaminant fate and transport.
• ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND ECONOMICS: Focuses on the use of models of physical and economic systems to analyze and improve the design and operations of public policies, environmental control systems, and infrastructure for energy, transportation, water, and other critical services.
• DATA SCIENCE AND ANALYTICS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND ENGINEERING: Emphasizes innovative computational, statistical, and “big data” tools with applications to environmental problems in air pollution, energy systems, hydrology, and climate change.
