MAIN PAGE
The programme offers
the degree of Master of Science (MSc) in Environmental Engineering. MSc in
Environmental Engineering is an inter-disciplinary program with an emphasis
on Environmental Pollution and Control. The program is contributed by
faculty from wide variety of fields ranging from life sciences to
architectural restoration, providing the students with qualities required
to involve in an inter-disciplinary project, which are also the
requirements of modern professional life. Some of the master’s projects
conducted in the program include environmental effects of geothermal
energy, artificial intelligence in modeling atmospheric pollutant
concentrations, human health risk assessment of pollutants in drinking
water, development of analytical methods to detect rare earth elements,
monitoring semi-volatile organic compounds such as polychlorinated
bi-phenyls and organochlorine pesticides in ambient air, treatment of
domestic and industrial wastewater, and flue gases, and so on. Study of
physical, chemical, and biological processes are fundamental, and necessary
to comprehend environmental fate and engineered treatment of contaminants.
Students acquire expertise in fate and mass transport of pollutants in the
environment, and engineering processes involved industrial pollution
control.
The program aims at involving its students in interdisciplinary research
that bridge science, engineering, and application in air, water, and soil
pollution problems, and provide them with sound theoretical and practical
background to identify and solve current and future environmental problems
associated with management and development of air and water resources.
Overall goal of the program is to provide the student with skills and tools
they need to understand the fundamentals of the environmental issues, and
to tackle challanges in combining environmental science and technology. The
head of the program is Sait C. Sofuoğlu, PhD.
