The academic content and curriculum of the Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering is designed to approach environmental problems from an engineering perspective. The program provides a comprehensive education in basic sciences, engineering principles and environmental systems. The curriculum is organized in such a way that students develop both theoretical knowledge and practical skills.
Basic Sciences and Mathematics: The first years of the program usually begin with basic science courses such as mathematics, physics and chemistry. These courses are necessary to grasp the scientific principles underlying environmental engineering.
Engineering Fundamentals: Students also learn engineering fundamentals. These courses include statics, dynamics, materials science, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. These courses develop the ability to analyze and solve engineering problems.
Environmental Science and Ecology: In this department, students learn about the functioning of ecosystems, biodiversity, and the ecological effects of pollution. These courses provide an understanding of the scientific basis of environmental problems.
Environmental Technologies and Applications: Students develop expertise in specific environmental engineering topics such as wastewater treatment, air pollution control, solid waste management and environmental impact assessment. These courses provide the technical and technological knowledge necessary for solving environmental problems.
Laboratory and Field Applications: Laboratory studies and field trips play an important role in putting theoretical knowledge into practice. Students gain experience by working on real world examples.
Project-Based Learning: Students apply what they have learned to practical projects through various project activities. These projects offer students the opportunity to solve real-world problems and work in teams.
Professional and Ethical Education: Environmental engineering students are also educated on professional responsibilities and ethical issues. This develops their ability to make decisions taking into account their impact on society and the environment.
Elective Courses: Students are offered elective courses that will enable them to gain in-depth knowledge according to their interests. These courses can be in areas such as energy systems, sustainability, environmental modeling.
This diverse curriculum aims to make environmental engineering students competent in understanding, analyzing and solving environmental problems. Graduates have the necessary knowledge and skills to pursue a career in environmental engineering or to continue academic studies.
