The Environmental Engineering Department is committed to providing quality education programs in environmental science and engineering. The department provides authoritative guidance to individuals and organizations to prevent and to solve conventional and emerging environmental problems related to the quality of the natural and living environments as well as the impact of their application upon local and global society.
With thorough knowledge of the principles of environmental engineering, an environmental engineer's expertise is one that is essential to our present civilization and one that will become ever more valuable in the future. For this purpose, the department offers interdisciplinary and expertise programs in fields such as biology, chemistry, hydraulics, and engineering. Environmental considerations include water resource management, wastewater engineering, air quality modeling and management, air pollution engineering, solid waste engineering, soil and groundwater engineering, environmental impact assessment, global climate change, and green engineering, which are a part of the course of study.
