In
our day, with increasing consciousness and efforts to find solutions to
environmental problems, the responsibilities of environmental engineering
departments have also increased. Our department which shares these
responsibilities is exerting a great effort to conduct scientific research
to solve these problems while designing new curricula, initiating
applied engineering projects and providing consultation and measuring
services for industry and governmental institutions.
The
department has adopted an undergraduate curriculum emphasizing English as
a foreign language. To this end, our students spend a year learning
English before starting their undergraduate course. They then take basic
engineering and professional courses in Turkish and English. The
department also offers Master of Science and Ph.D programs in English in
the fields of Environmental Sciences and Environmental Technology within
the post-graduate programs of the Institute of Natural Sciences of our
university. Detailed information on these programs can be obtained under courses.
Academic
activities in the Environmental Engineering Department are pursued in two
areas: Environmental Sciences and Environmental Technology. Research
conducted in our department can be grouped into three main categories:
Water
pollution and its control
Air
pollution and its control
Solid
waste management
Our
department has well equipped laboratories for teaching and research.
