Master of Applied Science [M.ASc] [Environmental Engineering] From School of Higher Technology, University of Quebec

Program Objectives

This program trains specialists in the development of clean technologies and the procedures, methods and tools for sustaining them in order to resolve environmental problems caused by human activity.

Students learn a systemic approach to resolving environmental problems and acquire advanced knowledge in the field of environmental engineering related to ecosystems, analysis techniques, purification and treatment technologies, and other areas.

Students also develop the skills necessary to do the following:

• Analyze the technical, economic, social and environmental issues associated with complex situations;
• Design solutions from a preventive, corrective or curative perspective;
• Validate the compliance of the solution and its implementation with the requirements of industries, municipalities and government institutions
• Evaluate the long-term socio-economic and environmental impacts when choosing a solution.

Program Structure

• 1 mandatory 3-hour long workshop (0 credit)
• 3 mandatory activities (9 credits)
• 2 optional activities (totalling at least 6 credits)
• 1 thesis (30 credits)

The project includes a set of activities carried out under the direction of a professor: bibliographic research, theoretical development and experimental realization, drafting the thesis and making an oral presentation. The completion of all these activities requires at least 1350 hours of work.

NOTE: A candidate who is deemed to be inadequately prepared may be required to take upgrading courses or a preparatory course.
