• Undergraduate students:
  Most of us care deeply about the environment. In the State of Florida, water is the thread that sustains our ecosystems and economy. Would you like to proactively do something to protect the environment, using the latest know-how in engineering and science? Did you know that in the March 2005 Issue of Fortune Magazine, Environmental Engineering was ranked #1 among professions expected to be in hottest demand for the coming decade? EnvE even beat out jobs in the financial and information technology sectors! Here at USF, the Environmental Engineering graduate program is part of the Environmental and Water Resources Engineering (EWRE) division in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering. With faculty from some of the nation’s best universities, we have assembled a top notch program integrating leading-edge education with innovative research. Faculty members study topics ranging from environmental biotechnology to fate and transport of contaminants to global water sustainability. We urge you to take a look here. If you do plan to apply to the EnvE MS program at USF, please be sure to apply to the Environmental Engineers of the Future (E2F) scholarship program. USF is now a participating university in this funding program which provides financial support (up to $20,000) to qualified students to pursue a master’s degree in EnvE. It is a great opportunity that you should not pass up. Please visit their website to find out more. Application deadline is December 15, 2006. If you have any question, you can also contact Prof. Daniel Yeh (dhyeh@eng.usf.edu), the E2F faculty liaison at USF.
