Environmental Engineering

Description

Faculty of Building
Structures, Hydro and
Environmental Engineering
Duration: 4 years

Starts in: October
The major objective of the Environment
Engineering Programmes is to provide a high
quality, interdisciplinary knowledge and skills
to people searching for solutions to the environmental
problems of today and the future,
concerning: water resources protection, air
pollution control, solid waste management,
environmental impact assessment, renewable
energy systems and others.
At the undergraduate level of Environmental
Engineering, principal engineering skills
are taught together with achievement of
knowledge of basic subjects such as mathematics,
physics, chemistry and biology. All
the students of the Faculty are given general
knowledge of processes in major constituents
of environment as well as in basic environmental
technologies, e.g.: atmospheric physics
and chemistry, air pollution control, hydrology,
water resources and water protection,
water and sewage processing, groundwater,
soil protection and land reclamation, waste management. Modern methods of natural resources protection through the use of best available technologies and production practices, recycling and reuse of wastes are thoroughly taught. In addition, environmental aspects of the energy production and use are stressed throughout all engineering courses. Students are also familiar with some global
environmental issues such as climatic change, ozone layer depletion, land use changes and global water scarcity and contamination. The first three semesters of the programme provide students with basic knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology
at the university level. In addition, several engineering basic courses are offered to give
