Environmental Engineering

Environmental engineering is a rapidly growing, multi-disciplinary branch of engineering, concerned with planning, implementing and managing solutions to restore, protect and improve environmental resources; Significantly air, water and land resources. In other words, environmental engineering is an essential simultaneous application of science and technology to make a sustainable development possible; a development in order to avoiding depletion and/or pollution of natural resources.

Environmental engineering involves a wide range of common issues in an urban developing project. Such as water and air pollution control, resources recycling, waste disposal and public health. It also includes studies on environmental impact of proposed construction projects to adjust them with environmental laws. Thus thisDiscipline employs a wide range of engineering knowledge and skills, not in isolation but in consultation with other professionals and community. Environmental engineering is a synthesis of various disciplines, incorporating science and technology for convenience of human and other organisms. Frequent elements of environmental engineering include:
- Civil Engineering (including all sub-branches)
- Chemical Engineering
- Mechanical Engineering
- Biology
- Ecology
- Chemistry

- Geology
