Program History and Alumni:

The UMass EWRE graduate program has over 500 alumni who have earned either an MS or a PhD degree in Environmental and Water Resources Engineering. To learn more see:

 

 

The EWRE program was established by Professor Tsuan Hua "Tom" Feng in 1965 under the name of "SanitaryEWRE logo faded Engineering". It was changed to "Environmental Engineering" in 1967 and finally to "Environmental and Water Resources Engineering" in 2008. Our first graduate (Dan Fitzgerald) entered the program in the fall of 1962 and graduated with the Class of 1964. Since then over 500 have earned MS or PhD degrees, and in some cases both. The EWRE program is currently served by 11 full-time faculty. All of these faculty have a substantial research focus on water (e.g., natural water, drinking water, wastewater), making the UMass program one of the strongest water engineering programs in the US. Other areas of interest to current and former EWRE faculty include solid & hazardous waste, air pollution, environmental chemistry, microbiology and public health.
