Environmental Engineering

Program Overview

Environmental Engineering Program

The Environmental Engineering program trains students in the treatment of domestic and industrial wastewater, air pollution control, and solid waste management and treatment. Graduates will be able to design, size, and manage pollution control facilities, in addition to understanding the interactions of pollutants in aquatic and atmospheric environments, their fate, and their impact on water, air, and soil. Furthermore, they will be equipped to conduct pollution quantification studies for domestic and industrial discharges.

This Master’s program also aims to provide students from non-environmental engineering backgrounds with the fundamental knowledge and skills necessary to pursue a professional career in environmental engineering.
The program introduces students to research and higher education activities in the field of environmental engineering.
The curriculum is designed to ensure that by the end of the two-year Master’s program, students develop a high level of autonomy through a progressive self-directed learning approach.

Teaching Language : Français/Anglais

Advanced Topics

Process Engineering for the Environment Track

The Process Engineering for the Environment program aims to equip students with scientific, general, and technological knowledge and skills for solving environmental challenges using a multidisciplinary approach. The curriculum covers two key areas of industrial environmental management:

Technical and Technological Aspects

This area focuses on analysis, treatment, and valorization of various types of pollution in liquid, gaseous, and solid phases. Key topics include:

Water treatment processes, including industrial wastewater, urban sewage, potable water treatment, and recycling.
Waste treatment and valorization, covering household waste, industrial waste, and remediation of contaminated soils and sites.
Air pollution control, including dust removal, treatment of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), odors, and fumes.
