This program has been developing solutions to environmental problems in the two focal areas of Environmental Technology and Management (ETM) and Water and Wastewater Engineering (WWE). ETM emphasizes as systems approach to manage the environment, considering the interrelated roles of industry and government agencies. Subjects covered included air pollution, solid waste, industrial pollution control, hazardous waste control and minimization, environmental impact assessment, and waste audits. WWE responds to the need to produce engineers who have specialized in the planning, design, operation and management of water supply, wastewater treatment, and disposal systems. Specializations includes water supply and sewerage system engineering, water quality management, water and wastewater treatment systems, environmental sanitation systems, waste recycling and resources recovery, and natural and ecological treatment systems.
FOCUS AREAS
- Water security
- Wastewater to resources/energy
- Integrated air quality management
- Solid waste management and plastic abatement
- Hazardous waste management
- Circular and bio-based economy
- Sustainable sanitation systems
- Membrane technology
- Environmental quality and climate co-benefits
- Environmental decentralization and pollution controls
PREFERRED BACKGROUND
- What are the backgrounds a student must have to attend the program?
Environmental Engineering and Management Program is intended for professionals from government and international agencies, environment ministries, pollution control authorities, private companies, academia, NGOs, city, and municipal authorities dealing with or interested in the environment, water and wastewater treatment, and sanitation, policy, planning, and management.
Candidates with degree from an institution with recognised standing preferably in biochemical or chemical engineering, civil engineering, environmental engineering or related applied sciences, or health science and biomedical science are eligible to apply.
