Safety Engineering Certificate
The Safety Engineering Certificate requirements are achievable
and relevant to all engineering disciplines. Undergraduate students
in any engineering discipline can choose this option as part of
their curriculum. Through this option, students are exposed to
principles and case histories from a wide variety of engineering
disciplines. The curriculum emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature
of safety, health, and environmental engineering. It also
emphasizes the knowledge and skills most likely to be needed by any
engineer, as well as those who specialize in safety
engineering.
This program, which is administered by the Mary Kay O'Connor
Process Safety Center, seeks to serve all engineering disciplines
equally well. The certificate requires 15 hours of coursework.
These hours are applicable to the hours necessary for graduation,
not an additional load. Nine hours are dedicated to Basic Topics
and are required for everyone in the program. An additional six
hours address more specific or advanced topics. If the discipline
has a specific course in safety (such as does Chemical
Engineering), that course counts towards the hours for advanced
topics. The advanced topics are cross-listed with numerous
departments and developed in cooperation with various TEES research
centers and TTI. Finally, a three-hour discipline-specific capstone
course that includes a safety component can complete the 15-hour
Safety Certificate requirements.

MS in Safety Engineering
Students must apply to the Director of the Process Safety
Center. Admission into the Safety Engineering program is based on
meeting admission requirements and the agreement of a faculty
advisor. The faculty advisor can be from any engineering
department. The degree plan is then approved in joint consultation
between the faculty advisor and the Director of the Center.
