MS Curriculum

The curriculum addresses the multi-disciplinary nature of the field emphasizing the theoretical, computational and experimental aspects of environmental science/technology and environmental fluid mechanics.

It includes the study of the physical, chemical and biological processes that control fate and transport in natural environmental and determine the efficacy engineered treatment and control measures.

Students commence the summer term by taking 4 courses at Stanford. When they return to NTU for the remaining two semesters, they would be taking courses that possibly include:

Summer session
Students will be taking 4 out of the 6 courses offered:

- CEE270 and CEE274A are compulsory for all students
- Students have to choose either CEE276 or CEE376;
- and either CEE264A or CEE268.

Semester I at NTU
