Environmental Engineering
The Department of Environmental Engineering for Postgraduate Studies was created and formed as an independent department affiliated to the College of Engineering at the University of Baghdad in 1997 after it was tacitly and administratively linked to the Department of Civil Engineering since 1986. Since then, approximately 210 students from both genders have graduated with master’s and doctoral degrees in environmental engineering.
In 2005, undergraduate study was introduced in the Department of Environmental Engineering and a bachelor’s degree was awarded in environmental engineering. Comprehensive courses were developed to cover the theoretical and practical aspects in the various fields of the environment.
Vision:
The Department of Environmental Engineering aims to take a prominent position in advancing education, scientific inquiry, and community outreach within the realm of environmental engineering. The department has a crucial role as a model of excellence in delivering top-notch education with both local and global support. The department keeps abreast of changing times by providing an interactive academic atmosphere to promote interaction among students and faculty for creating an optimal learning environment.
Mission:
The Department of Environmental Engineering endeavours to provide leading and current instruction to equip graduates with the skills to identify, assess, and rectify intricate and intricate concerns in the environmental engineering arena. Additionally, it seeks to advance and implement essential and practical research that concentrates on devising and enacting feasible, effective, and sustainable engineering resolutions for actual environmental predicaments. Furthermore, the Department of Environmental Engineering strives to cultivate adaptable, internationally-focused, and interdisciplinary proficiency, and act as a proficient intermediary engaging with governmental bodies, businesses, and various local, national, and global organisations to establish enduring ecological remedies.
Objectives
The Department of Environmental Engineering endeavours to accomplish the subsequent goals:
- Establish, disseminate and integrate knowledge in the fields of engineering, sciences, and technology to expand the knowledge base in environmental engineering, thereby enhancing society.
- Improve the practice of environmental engineering by developing and transferring innovative applications of engineering, sciences and technology.
