Environmental engineering is the application of engineering principles to improve the environment, to provide healthy land and air for habitation, and to remedy polluted sites. It involves water and air pollution control, recycling, waste disposal, and the environmental impact of proposed construction projects.
The environmental engineering program is an interdisciplinary major in the college of engineering mainly support by the departments of chemical engineering and civil engineering and gas processing center.
The Environmental Engineering Master Program is a multidisciplinary curriculum aimed at engineering and science graduates who wish to pursue graduate studies to enhance their knowledge in environmental subjects and gain experience in engineering solutions to environmental problems generated by industrial growth with sustainable natural resources.
Currently, there is a increased demand for graduates who are competent in environmental subjects in all sectors of industry including governmental agencies.
The environmental engineering master program will equip the graduate students with a firm science foundation related to the environment, engineering design and problem solving skills required to address contemporary environmental issues at a time where natural resources are heavily utilized.
The environmental engineering master program curriculum is designed to benefit both practicing engineers and those contemplating pursuing a research oriented career
