Environmental Engineering

Overview

At the undergraduate level of Environmental Engineering from the Warsaw University of Technology , principal engineering skills are taught together with the achievement of knowledge of basic subjects such as mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology. 

Modern methods of natural resources protection through the use of best available technologies and production practices, recycling, and reuse of wastes are thoroughly taught. In addition, environmental aspects of energy production and use are stressed throughout all engineering courses. 

Students are also familiar with some global environmental issues such as climatic change, ozone layer depletion, land-use changes, and global water scarcity and contamination. 

All the students of the Faculty are given general knowledge of processes in major constituents of the environment as well as in basic environmental technologies, e.g.:

atmospheric physics and chemistry, air pollution control, hydrology, water resources and water protection, water and sewage processing, groundwater, soil protection and land reclamation, waste management. 

The first three semesters of the program provide students with basic knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology at the university level. In addition, several engineering basic courses are offered to give students a comprehensive understanding of environmental issues. 

The next four semesters cover specific topics within the field of environmental engineering. The eighth semester is devoted mostly to the professional internship, working on the final project and preparation of the B.Sc. thesis, in which students use their knowledge to analyse and find a proper solution to a given problem.
