The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Industrial Systems and Technology offers the Master of Science in Education with Technology Education concentration and the Master of Science in Hazardous Materials Management. The Master of Science in Education degree with a concentration in Technology Education is designed to improve the competencies of technology educators, administrators, and other professionals in secondary and post-secondary schools and contemporary technology-based workforces. The Master of Hazardous Materials Management is designed to prepare individuals for safety or environmental management manager positions in the safe handling, transporting, and managing of hazardous materials and toxic chemicals.
Course Descriptions
The student is required to select an appropriate topic with approval from advisor and do a presentation.
(For Non-hazardous Materials Management Majors). An introduction to contemporary national problems of air and water pollution, environmental monitoring, toxicology, hazardous waste; general problems of environmental contamination; legal and political aspects of current regulations; general scientific principles applied to the evaluation and control of specific problems.
Practical application of simulation to diverse environmental systems including air, land, surface, sub-surface, water systems and also, the hazardous materials management models.
This course shows how chemistry can be applied to hazardous materials. The course is designed to introduce and train students' awareness of the unique requirements involved in handling hazardous materials when they are encountered in different situations, thus reducing the loss of lives and property.
This course is designed for the development and maintenance of proficiency in statistical interface. It contains a comprehensive overview of how statistics work in actual cases and how it can be applied in hazardous materials management.
This course is an overview of the strategies, tactics and techniques regarding environmental affairs, both public and private.
This course is designed to give students pertinent information of our natural resources with emphasis on their origin, properties, use, misuse, and conservation practices.
A study of Federal Laws and Regulations concerning hazardous materials and wastes. This course will introduce students to laws and regulations in Mississippi and the nation. The course emphasizes how to implement and comply with laws.
Students will be given an overview on waste/wastewater treatment through discussions of various selected topics. The primary focus of these topics will be to introduce students to treatment methods.
This course is designed to make students aware of the vast number of problems encountered as a result of disposing waste. Also, students will be given lectures on methods of recycling, reuse and reducing our waste.
This course will involve studying chemicals and harmful actions of chemicals on biological issues. This will include understanding chemical reactions and interactions of biological organisms. Students will also be introduced to scientific data and methods currently used to access human risk to environmental chemicals.
This course is an advanced course for hazardous waste treatment technology. It includes training in pretreatment of hazardous materials, chemical/physical process, stabilization, recovery processes, final disposal of, and secured landfill stabilization. EPA requirements for each process will be addressed in this class.
This course will introduce students to the basic models, theories, and concepts that underlie modern emergency management's understanding of hazards and disasters. Students will examine the hazard-scope, using varous hazard models, with a focus on hazard mitigation and emergency management issues. The interdependence of physical,l and social and economic characteristics in determing vulnerability will be considered in past disasters and for future planning. The importance of hazard and risk management in a comprehensive emergency management program will also be presented.
This course is to introduce key terms associated with sustainable disaster recovery, describe the individual, social economic, and environmental impacts of disasters, and begin to describe the complexities of recovery utilizing case studies.
This class introduces the students to all kinds of disaster caused by nature, man-made disasters and terrorist attacks. How the different levels of governments handle the disaster. Ghe governments' policy and continue operation. The classes will us different nature and terrorism cases happened in past years for study.
This class introduces the students to the radiation safety, preparedness and emergency response, principles of probabilistic risk assessment. The exercises include case studies, survey, detection and population monitoring.
