Dear Students,

Environmental Engineering is an engineering discipline which develops new technologies and methods for the prevention and solution of local, regional, and global scale environmental problems; such as climate change, acidification, eutrophication, and ecotoxicity. Environmental Engineering also develops new technologies and approaches for the solution of 21st century sustainability problems such as consumption and exceeding the carrying capacity of limited resources.
