Prof. Reza Khanbilvardi is the Program Director.
His goal is to lead the Earth System Science & Environmental Engineering Program to a new level.
MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR
As we step into 2025, Earth System and Environmental Engineers are set to play an increasingly crucial role in shaping the cities of tomorrow. The ongoing environmental challenges brought on by climate change require these professionals to work diligently to create sustainable, resilient communities. They not only safeguard the environment but also ensure access to vital resources like clean air, freshwater, and coastal protection, addressing the complex issues stemming from both natural hazards and human activities.Read more here
ABOUT ESE
Human activity is increasingly perturbing our fragile environment by depleting our natural resources, destroying ecosystems, and accelerating climate change. A sustainable planet requires engineers and scientists to understand the impact of their decisions on the built environment and natural systems. The undeniable challenge of our time is efficient management, sustainable and equitable use of Earth’s finite natural resources on air, land, water, and energy. Read more here
Our Earth System Science & Environmental Engineering program is proud to be the only ABET accredited environmental engineering program in CUNY since 2009, just 3 years after creation. This prestigious accreditation ensures that our curriculum meets the highest standards of quality and prepares students for success in the ever-evolving environmental engineering field
