M. Eng. in Health, Safety and Environment Engineering

The Master of Engineering in Health, Safety and Environment Engineering degree program (M. Eng. in HSE Engineering) is designed for the educational preparation of two types of professionals:

• Engineering graduates who are currently working as engineers in industry and who intend to stay in that type of job, but who want to embed HSE in their engineering functions. These graduates will have diverse capabilities in the various aspects of HSE and will use this knowledge to manage risk as they devise optimal engineering and operational solutions within the constraints of regulatory mandates and best practices.
• Engineering graduates who wish to assume varying levels of HSE responsibilities in one or more aspects of a company’s HSE department/program. These graduates will have sufficient background to assume the role of a general HSE engineering practitioner/ manager while possessing additional capabilities in any one of the offered HSE areas of concentrations.

The objectives of the Master of Engineering in HSE Engineering program are to:

• Provide graduates with sufficient scientific and engineering breadth to design and develop innovative solutions to HSE problems in occupational settings.
• Provide a pool of highly educated graduates who can utilize their acquired knowledge to enhance the competitive edge of their employer.
• Provide graduates with outstanding education, management skills and knowledge to further their career aspirations.
• Provide graduates with effective communication and teamwork skills to function successfully in their careers.
• Provide graduates with a quality education committed to excellence and innovation that fosters leadership, professionalism and life-long learning.

Upon completion of the Master of Engineering in HSE Engineering program, graduates will be able to:

• Successfully anticipate, recognize, evaluate hazardous conditions and work practices in the overall areas of HSE, hazard control in production systems, industrial hygiene, system safety, risk management, environmental, fire protection, hazardous waste, QHSE program management and ergonomics and human factors.
• Successfully develop/implement engineering and administrative control strategies for identified hazardous conditions and work practices in the overall areas of HSE, hazard control in production systems, industrial hygiene, system safety, risk management, environmental, fire protection, hazardous waste, security and emergency management, HSE program management, and human factors.
• Produce professional-quality technical summaries/reports.
• Clearly express their ideas and thoughts through professional presentations.
• Successfully function as members of teams working towards achieving solutions to defined problems.
• Develop research skills relevant to the disciplines within HSE.
