Department of Environmental Engineering

 

 The increase in the need for minimizing environmental damage and sustainable development has increased the demand for qualified environmental engineers who can work in industry, public, and audit institutions.

Nowadays, water, wastewater, and industrial wastewater treatment, solid waste management, and air pollution control have gained great importance at least water supply, wastewater collection, and discharge. 

Marmara University Department of Environmental Engineering was founded in 1990 and accepted its first students in the same year and had its first graduates in 1994. Department’s graduate and doctorate (Ph.D.) programs started in 1993 and 1999 respectively.

The aim of these programs is to train engineers who can bring engineering solutions to complex environmental problems. Therefore, the program covers courses in biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, and principles of engineering as well as laboratory practices and computer applications.

Students are strongly encouraged to work both individually and in teams. They are expected to evaluate real environmental problems selected from different domestic and industrial sites and bring solutions for these issues. Hence, they gain technical knowledge and experience about environmental problems and their solutions.
