Emphasis - Environmental Engineering
M.S. in Engineering Science
Description
The M.S. in engineering science is offered in a number of emphasis areas: aeroacoustics, chemical engineering, civil engineering, computational hydroscience, computer science, electrical engineering, electromagnetics, environmental engineering, geology, geological engineering, hydrology, mechanical engineering, material science and engineering, and telecommunications.
Minimum Total Credit Hours: 30
Course Requirements
A student must complete the requirements for an emphasis area. For most emphasis areas, the degree may be completed as either a thesis option (30-hour program, to include 6 hours of thesis) or nonthesis option (30- hour program, to include a minimum of 3 hours of a design-oriented project course).
Emphasis - Environmental Engineering
Description
A M.S. in engineering science with emphasis in environmental engineering prepares a student with advanced technical knowledge and communication skills for pursuing a career in industry, engineering research and development, public service, or for doctoral work. Students can concentrate in any of the following specialty areas: water resources, watershed systems, hydrology, surface water quality, stormwater, wastewater, solid waste, air pollution, groundwater modeling and remediation, and remote sensing and geospatial technologies. Students entering the program come from a variety of engineering and nonengineering disciplines, such as geology, chemistry, biology, and mathematics.
Goals/Mission Statement
The program will provide high quality graduate education in a range of environmental disciplines and will produce research and scholarship that is nationally recognized and supports the economic development of the state, the region, and the nation.
Course Requirements
The M.S. with emphasis in environmental engineering can be completed as either a thesis or nonthesis option. The thesis option requires at least 24 hours of course work and at least 6 hours of thesis credit (Engr 697- Thesis) with a thesis defense. The nonthesis option requires 27 hours of course work and a 3-hour project or research course (Engr 699-Special Projects in Engineering Science or Engr 693-Research Topics in Engineering Science) with a written report and oral presentation.
The graduate course work for either option must include at least one course in mathematics (e.g., Engr 591-Engineering Analysis I, Math 555- Advanced Calculus I, Math 556-Advanced Calculus II, Math 575- Mathematical Statistics I), one course in numerical method (e.g., Engr 590-Finite Element Analysis), and one course in mechanics (e.g., Engr 617-Continuum Mechanics). Other graduate course work must be approved by the student's adviser.
Degree Requirements
The academic regulations for this degree program, as entered in the University of Mississippi Catalog, are in effect for the current or selected academic year and semester. The University of Mississippi reserves the right to 1) change or withdraw courses; 2) change rules for registration, instruction, and graduation; and 3) change other regulations affecting the student body at any time.
