OUR MISSIONENAC’s mission is to provide an excellent undergraduate and graduate level education, and to conduct research into innova-tive solutions for the world’s most pressing environmental is-sues, such as: population growth and the emergence of me-gacities; increasing land, energy, and transportation needs; maintenance and improvement of the built environment; conservation of natural resources and biodiversity; and the management of natural and man-made hazards.

THREE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS FOR

ENGINEERS ANDARCHITECTS

Master’s in Civil EngineeringMaster’s in Architecture

Master’s in Environmental Sciences and Engineering

Special emphasis is placed on an interdisciplinary approach that allows students to learn to “design and build together”
