Environmental Engineering

At the undergraduate level of Environmental Engineering, principal engineering skills are taught together with the 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 the 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 the best available technologies and production practices, recycling, and reuse of wastes are thoroughly taught. In addition, environmental aspects of 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.
