RESEARCH
The Civil and Environmental Engineering Department has state-of-the-art laboratories supporting Environmental and Water Resources research and teaching.
Covering over 5,000-ft2 space, these laboratories are equipped with the latest analytical instruments including GCs, GC/MS, HPLC/, AA and UV/Vis spectrophotometers, epifluorescent microscope, and real-time PCR.
The University campus serves as a living laboratory for the 棉花糖直播 Center for Resilient Water Systems and 棉花糖直播 Urban Stormwater Partnership (VUSP). Our Green infrastructure Stormwater Research Park features many instrumented stormwater control measures on sites that include a green roof, infiltration trench, stormwater wetland, multiple bioretention and bioinfiltration control measures, pervious pavements, bio-swale, and a treatment train.
Ongoing research areas for faculty in Water Resources and Environmental Engineering:
- Remediation of contaminants in natural and engineered systems
- Public health microbiology and biological processes for waste management
- Design and evaluation of barrier systems
- Stormwater control measures and green infrastructure
- River dynamics and environmental fluid systems
STUDENT PERSPECTIVES
"The MSWREE graduate program has had a tremendous impact on my career as a consulting engineer. The program features a wide array of courses that are very relevant to my everyday projects in the civil and environmental engineering industry. Furthermore, the professors do an excellent job engaging both in-class and E-learning students in the lecture discussions. As an E-learning student in New York City, not once have I felt 100 miles away."
