Environmental Engineering and Science

Overview

Environmental Engineering and Science Program at Johns Hopkins University Overview

Rapid deterioration and consumption of our planets’ natural resources, immense waste production, environmental decline, and climate change are just some of the environmental issues threatening human health and the well-being of planet Earth. The Johns Hopkins Engineering for Professionals program is led by instructors at the helm of pioneering important new environmental initiatives, and these distinguished faculty will guide you through the latest techniques used to examine engineering solutions to these complex and multidisciplinary problems. Through the use of interactive learning tools and online course delivery, experienced instructors delve into the concepts underlying biological, physical, and chemical treatment, preparing students to design and lead projects in real-world settings. Choose from optional focus areas that are of most interest to you.

Our Environmental Engineering program can help you:

• Apply engineering and management solutions to municipal solid waste problems utilizing knowledge of contemporary technologies for the design and operation of landfills, incinerators, transfer stations, and processing facilities
• Apply the basic principles of water and wastewater treatment to the design of major components of drinking water treatment systems, water distribution systems, wastewater collection systems, and wastewater treatment processes
• Understand more about hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities
• Evaluate environmental and public health hazards, recommending technologies and approaches to cost-effectively eliminate waste and pollution while reducing energy consumption
