Environmental Quality
Field Description
This minor field offers qualified engineers and scientists an opportunity to broaden their knowledge in the modeling of physical, chemical, and biological processes in environmental systems. Complementary instruction is available in mathematical/computational modeling and data analysis techniques including statistical approaches and multivariate tools to discover significant trends and make predictions related to environmental phenomena. A minor in Environmental Modeling and Analysis is intended to encourage interdisciplinary study outside the domain of the Environmental Processes (or related) major fields. The objective is to gain expertise in quantitative and computational aspects of the environmental sciences and engineering.
Students in this minor take the combination of courses, seminars, and projects considered best for them. Master's degree candidates ordinarily take a minimum of one courses outside of their major field to satisfy the requirements of the Environmental Modeling and Analysis minor. Doctoral degree candidates ordinarily take a minimum of two courses outside of their major field to satisfy the requirements of the Environmental Modeling Analysis minor.
This is a minor field. Application for admission is made only to the major fields. After matriculation, a student may select minor subjects from the major or minor fields.
