Master
of Environmental Engineering (MS)
School of Science
and Engineering
Atlantic International University
The Master of Environmental Engineering
(MS) program objective is to provide students
with the technical and professional knowledge
necessary to develop their abilities to
seek creative solutions to complex problems
in their field of interest. The Master of
Environmental Engineering (MS) program is
offered online via distance learning. After
evaluating both academic record and life
experience, AIU staff working in conjunction
with Faculty and Academic Advisors will
assist students in setting up a custom-made
program, designed on an individual basis.
This flexibility to meet student needs is
seldom found in other distance learning
programs. Our online program does not require
all students to take the same subjects/courses,
use the same books, or learning materials.
Instead, the online Master of Environmental
Engineering (MS) curriculum is designed
individually by the student and academic
advisor. It specifically addresses strengths
and weaknesses with respect to market opportunities
in the student’s major and intended
field of work. Understanding that industry
and geographic factors should influence
the content of the curriculum instead of
a standardized one-fits-all design is the
hallmark of AIU’s unique approach
to adult education. This philosophy addresses
the dynamic and constantly changing environment
of working professionals by helping adult
students in reaching their professional
and personal goals within the scope of the
degree program.
Important: Below is an example of the topics
or areas you may develop and work on during
your studies. By no means is it a complete
or required list as AIU programs do not
follow a standardized curriculum. It is
meant solely as a reference point and example.

Job Description
Master of Environmental Engineering
Environmental engineers are qualified to
work on a variety of serious environmental
issues. For example, they can design municipal
water supply and industrial wastewater treatment
systems; assess recycling and reclamation
processes; conduct hazardous waste management
studies; and consult on the environmental
effects of various construction projects.
They may be required to inspect and evaluate
industrial and municipal facilities and
programs to assess their compliance with
environmental regulations. They may work
with environmental scientists, planners,
hazardous waste technicians, engineers,
and other specialists to address environmental
problems.
Skills Required
for a Career in Environmental Engineering
Environmental engineers strive to solve environmental
problems such as water and air pollution,
waste disposal, and public health issues.
As engineers, they use advanced principles
of biology, chemistry, and environmental science
to protect wildlife and natural resources
as well as human life.
