If you’re thinking about concentrating your career in this sector, think about the difference a year at UBC can make. Build knowledge. Cross disciplines and boundaries. Gain confidence. Master the leadership skills that will take you to the next level. Invest in yourself, and in this growing field, at UBC. A COMPREHENSIVE CURRICULUM ONE YEAR, INTENSIVE STUDY, FACE TO FACE The UBC Master of Engineering Leadership in Integrated Water Management is designed to provide participants with a graduate-level degree balanced between advanced engineering theories, interdisciplinary knowledge and real-world applications. The Master of Engineering Leadership in Integrated Water Management is offered on a January through December calendar year. It is designed with a 60% focus on technical specialization and 40% on a leadership platform designed to enhance the business, communication and people skills of program participants. Working effectively with communities and stakeholder groups is another important facet of water management that students will master while learning how to assess and manage risk and how to apply appropriate policy levers to optimize management of water assets. The formulation, construction and deployment of simulation and optimization models for water resources will enable students to structure and apply risk-informed decision-making frameworks around water resources. Participants will have the unique ability to broaden their personal development, through a series of platform courses that build a foundation of project management, data analysis, communication and leadership skills—to prepare graduates to become effective technical managers who are ready to excel in a collaborative teamwork environment. Curriculum follows the Industry Value Chain 5) WASTE TREATMENT & MANAGEMENT The 12-month full-time curriculum is intense and exhilarating! 1) WATER RESOURCES & WATERSHED QUALITY & QUANTITY UBC’s new Master of Engineering Leadership (MEL) in Integrated Water Management has been created to meet industry’s growing need for professionals capable of developing and leading advanced and sustainable water management initiatives. UBC, which recently hosted the highly successful Water & Environment Student Talks (WEST) Conference, is recognized for its strong institutional depth and experience in water management instruction across multiple disciplines. WINTER JANUARY—APRIL 4) DESIGN, OPERATION & MANAGEMENT 2) HYDROLOGY & HYDROGEOLOGY LEADERSHIP COURSES (9 CR) This unique program will equip tomorrow’s water professionals with a broad understanding of the aquatic environment and how water moves throughout the natural world. Participants will learn how to apply physical, chemical and biological unit operations and processes to water resources, and will become conversant with regulatory and environmental frameworks. The program is designed for early-career professionals with three or more years of related industry experience and undergraduate credentials in Chemical & Biological Engineering, Civil Engineering, Geological Engineering or related disciplines in Engineering, Environmental Sciences, Geology, Fluid Mechanics, Hydrology, Biotechnology, Biology, Biogeography or Microbiology. TECHNICAL COURSES (21 CR) BECOME AN INTEGRATED WATER MANAGEMENT EXPERT Graduates of this cutting-edge degree will be able to apply the complex toolset of technical and leadership knowledge they acquire across a wide variety of private sector, institutional and government organizations involved with water use, treatment, research and protection.
