Objective

Environmental Engineering, formerly the Sanitary Engineering Division under the Civil Engineering Department, is the pollution control engineering, including water supply engineering, wastewater engineering and municipal solid waste treatment. Owing to the increase in the industrial pollution, the industrial pollution prevention becomes an important topic. Thus, environmental engineering, encompass its field over municipal engineering and industrial pollution prevention. As the way human lives are changing due to the new production technology, the scope of environmental engineering is enlarged by integrating the closely allied discipline.
The Department of Environmental Engineering was established in 1992. The Environmental program offers a wide range of discipline areas within Environmental Engineering at both the undergraduate and graduate level. The goal is to train undergraduate to be a " green engineer" skilled both in pollution prevention and pollution treatment. The graduate program focuses on training students in skills of planning, designing, advanced treatments, and research.
Environmental engineering program has the following educational objectives:
Engineering Fundamentals: Graduates will be prepared with a solid foundation in mathematics, sciences, and technical principles needed for effective problem solving in environmental engineering systems.
Professional Knowledge: Graduates will have the necessary qualifications for obtaining professional licensure, for employment in environmental engineering and related professions, and for entry into advanced studies.
Engineering Ethics: Graduates will understand the role of environmental engineering in society and their obligations to their profession and society.
Team Cooperation: Graduates will be able to work within a team and communicate effectively.
