Introduction
Environmental Engineering
Environmental Engineering is the study that seeks the sustainable coexistence of the natural environment and humanity by researching scientific and technological methods to analyze and solve environmental pollution issues.
The Department of Environmental Engineering (DEE) at Chungbuk National University (CBNU), established in 1984, has been committed to nurturing globally competitive professionals who can comprehensively understand and address environmental challenges at local, national, and global levels, such as the climate crisis, resource depletion, and pollution, while developing creative and innovative solutions.
CBNU DEE offers four specialized tracks: Water Environment, Air Environment, Waste Management and Resource Circulation, and Sustainable Environment. Each track provides in-depth research and education, led by faculty members who are experts in their fields. Students acquire both theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed to apply their learning in real-world situations.
Educational Goals
-
1
Building a strong foundation in environmental engineering principles and design: We ensure that students develop a deep understanding of the core theories and principles of environmental engineering, equipping them with the skills necessary to design and analyze environmental systems.
-
2
Enhancing integration with advanced technologies: In alignment with the Fourth Industrial Revolution, we focus on fostering the ability to integrate advanced technologies such as IT (Information Technology), BT (Biotechnology), and NT (Nanotechnology) with environmental engineering to promote innovative problem-solving.
-
3
Strengthening practical, industry-relevant skills: Through "Gap-zero" training, we bridge the gap between theory and practice, preparing students to apply their knowledge directly in real-world industrial settings upon graduation, enabling them to become highly sought-after professionals across various industries.
