ABOUT DEPARTMENT

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. Please visit laboratories for further information.
