Environmental Engineering

Graduate School
1

<p>Hi, Environmental Engineering is what I would like to pursue for my graduate studies in America. I am coming from the University of Tehran - School of agriculture which is very competitive in Iran. U of T is proportional to the Princeton of America. </p>

<p>Now, I am in America and can someone recommend good schools to go for my masters for environmental engineering? I understand I may not be able to compete with the best schools such as Cornell, Princeton, but I am still a competitive applicant and looking for a wide range of schools such as Reaches/matches/safeties. Thank you very much in advance.</p>

<p>Oh, and my cumalitive grades at U of T is around a B+ (very tough school), and I am going to take the GRE in the next couple of months and just to test it out, lets say I achieve a medium/high range score.</p>

<p>try University of California Berkeley, MIT, and definitely give the ivy league schools a shot</p>

<p>beside UC Berk & MIT, both fantastic in env eng, here's what comes to mind:</p>

<p>Univ Illinois
Johns Hopkins
Georgia Tech
Carnegie Mellon
U Washington
Stanford
Cornell
Penn State
Univ of Texas, Austin
Utah State</p>

<p>thanks for the schools, do you guys have any safeties that have phenomenal environmental/agriculture departments?</p>

<p>You'll want to look at the Land Grant institutions, i.e., the big state school in just about every state that runs the state's ag department & extension. Many of the former ag engineering departments have repackaged themselves into "bioenvironmental/resources engineering" departments....not the conventional "sanitary" engineering now morphed into environmental engineering, but with an ag twist. These departments often get into resource oriented env eng problems, like wetlands restoration & storm water. These departments actually produced well rounded students IMO & I like to hire them. For instance, Cornell has a conventional civil/env eng department, but they also have a bioenvironmental eng dept than came out of their ag eng program (they are NY's Land Grant school).</p>

<p>My personal experience with bioeng programs is limited to Cornell & Univ of Maryland, both producing good engineers. Also, Virginia Tech has such a program. I am sure one state school in virtually every other state may have a bioenv eng program. You'll have to search them out by finding the ag schools by state & looking at the faculty expertice & research to see if they are working on subjects that interest you. Goodluck.</p>

<p>Khan_T1m: In your earlier threads, you said you're a high school student who was accepted by U of Rochester under ED....</p>

<p>Some of the environmental programs design systems for treating waste water and some are more bio friendly. Purdue has an established program and good job placement record.</p>

<p>Yes soliloquy, that is true, i'm doing research for a friend from Iran that is staying with me. hehe, basically I had him type it in my account :P</p>
