Environmental, Water Resources and Coastal Graduate Student Handbook

Environmental engineers apply science and engineering principles to develop solutions to protect human health and welfare and minimize the adverse effects of human activities on the environment.

Water resources engineering has its roots in the tasks of supplying water for human use, removing water when humans are finished using it and developing methods of avoiding damage from excess water (floods).

Coastal engineering is the application of basic engineering principles to the analysis, design, construction and management of systems that operate in the coastal environment. It is a hybrid technical area utilizing techniques from many branches of engineering.
