Since the department of the environment engineering developed in 1984, we have tried to raise creative and qualified students with the practical environmental engineering technologies. We are proud that our graduates have greatly contributed to the progress of environmental industry not only in Busan city but also in our whole country. Now we devote our energy to promotion of our department to an outstanding world recognized department.
In the 21th century, environmental technology (ET) would be one of the 5 key-technologies, including ET, BT, IT, NT, and CT, for leading new growth of Korea. And fusion ET combined with the key technologies would be have great attention as new technologies capable of solving global environmental problems. Our department has developed and applied practical ET to treat the traditional environmental problems such as water/wastewater pollution, air pollution, waste management, soil/groundwater contamination, etc. We also research the fusion ET capable of applying to the water resource management and wastewater treatment based on IT, bioenergy production, waste recycle, CO2 reduction, contaminants analysis and monitoring, and environmental risk evaluation. In order to meet the cutting edge technological development and industrial demands, we have practical education programs, high quality instruments and laboratory facilities, and competent faculty members.
Hopefully, this booklet will be helpful for you to understand our department.
