Presentación

One clear measure of society’s progress towards achieving sustainable development is whether or not individuals and communities have sufficient and equitable access to clean water. Provision of this resource, which is essential for everything from sustaining life to enabling modern industrial development, is tightly intertwined with the health and integrity of the natural environment. The interdependence of water and environment is evident at multiple levels; from the impact of local watershed management on the quality and quantity of a water resource, to the influence of climate change on precipitation patterns on a regional and global scale.

The Water and Environmental Engineering Program aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the challenges behind one of the foundations of sustainable development - ensuring sufficient and equitable access to clean water. Through their coursework, students acquire technical and analytical skills relevant for analyzing natural systems as well as water-based technologies.

Requisitos

A relevant undergraduate degree in the fields of science, engineering or information technology
A minimum CGPA of 3.0 (on a scale of 4.0) or equivalent (2nd class upper in the British system)
A minimum GRE Quantitative score of 155 (700 on the old scale).
A minimum TOEFL score of 91 (Internet based) or equivalent paper/computer based TOEFL, or a minimum academic IELTS score of 6.5.

Academically strong applicants who do not have the GRE test may be evaluated for admission. If admitted, they will then be required to take placement exams and/or additional 400-level courses.

Objetivos

The Master of Science in Water & Environmental Engineering at the Masdar Institute aims to produce post-graduate students with the disciplinary preparation that meets the following goals:
•An ability to identify and address current and future societal problems related to water, waste, and the environment within a broader framework of sustainable development;
•An ability to apply a multi-disciplinary approach to conceive, plan, design, and implement solutions to problems in the field of water and environmental engineering;
•An understanding of the impact of solutions to water and environmental engineering problems in a global, economic, environmental, and societal systems context; and
•An understanding of the value of technical and scientific scholarship, service to society, leadership and lifelong learning required to further their career aspirations.
