is to train students who wish to pursue
Earth resource management careers.
Students are expected to register
full time for three terms in the Graduate
School of Business and for two terms in
the School of Engineering and Applied
Science. It is possible, however, to study
in the School of Engineering and Applied
Science part time. Interested persons
should contact Professor Tuncel
Yegulalp at 212-854-2984 or by e-mail
to yegulalp@columbia.edu.
Doctoral Programs
EEE offers two doctoral degrees:
(1) the Eng.Sc.D. degree, administered
by The Fu Foundation School of
Engineering and Applied Science; and
(2) the Ph.D. degree, administered by
the Graduate School of Arts and
Sciences. Qualifying examinations and
all other intellectual and performance
requirements for these degrees are the
same. All applicants should use the
School of Engineering forms. The scope
includes the design and use of sensors
for measurement at molecular scale; the
understanding of surface, colloid, aqueous,
and high-temperature phenomena;
the integrated management of multiple
resources and the mitigation of natural
and environmental hazards, at regional
to global scales. The management of
the interaction between human activities,
Earth resources, and ecosystems is of
primary interest.
The engineering objectives of EEE
research and education include:
• provision and disposal of materials:
environmentally sustainable extraction
and processing of primary materials;
manufacturing of derivative products;
recycling of used materials; management
of industrial residues and used
products; materials-related application
of industrial ecology.
• management of water resources:
understanding, prediction, and management
of the processes that govern
the quantity and quality of water
resources, including the role of climate;
development/operation of water
resource facilities; management of
water-related hazards.
• energy resources and carbon
management: mitigation of environmental
impacts of energy production;
energy recovery from waste materials;
advancement of energy efficient systems;
new energy sources; development of
carbon sequestration strategies.
• sensing and remediation: understanding
of transport processes at
