The environmental engineering eld in the graduate program focuses on urban facilities and environment and environmental informatics. It emphasizes the analysis of water and waste systems (e.g. sewage, wastewater, drinking water supply, municipal solid wastes); and infrastructure required to support these and other systems in the urban environment. Social and political issues that arise in these types of analyses relate to sustainable urban systems, and integration across urban systems.
