Masters Program Earth Systems and Environmental Science and Technology (ESEST) A new PSM Option at City College of NY Reza Khanbilvardi Director, MS ESEST & PSM Program The City College of the City University ESES/REU Orientation Week June 11, 2014
Earth System Science and Environmental Engineering • Mission • Provide students with professionally oriented educational opportunities to enhance their knowledge of theory, technical capacity, job-ready skill sets in multidisciplinary earth system and environmental sciences and engineering.
Earth System Science and Environmental Engineering • Goals and Objectives • To educate a diverse student body in basic and appliedacademic and research areas leading to new ideas, systems and solutions in the environmental engineering, earth systems science and related fields. • To groom the next generation scientists and engineering by providing appropriate internship opportunities to the students in private sectors, industries, government agencies, and other academic institutions
What is the PSM? • is an innovative, terminal graduate degree designed to allow students to pursue advanced training and excel in science while simultaneously developing highly-valued business skills. • is characterized by "science-plus," combining rigorous study in science or mathematics with skills-based coursework in management, policy, or law. • is developed in concert with industry and is designed to dovetail into present and future professional career opportunities.
About MS ESEST • Masters in Earth System Science & Environmental Engineering (ESEST) officially began in Fall 2013 after the Dept. of Education approval in Spring 2013 • MS in ESEST allows students to take a rigorous academic approach that combines the basic engineering requirements with a thorough scientific foundation. • Flexibility is achieved by choosing courses of interest from a large number of electives. • Students are strongly encouraged to engage in cutting-edge ongoing research at CCNY as well as industrial partners and federal and local agencies through internships. • Placement assistance is provided through the program.
