What is Environmental Science and Engineering?

Environmental Science &Engineering is an area of highly applied science to solve the environmental problems such as destruction of eco-system, water contamination, air pollution, soil contamination and municipal waste treatment. The department curriculum offers environmental management, eco-business, environmental education and toxicology in addition to the general environmental areas. In particular, process designs are the essential courses in the systematic curriculum in order to be the environmental engineers needed in practical industry and problem sites. Students completed the assigned courses can undertake the graduate school for the higher degree or achieve the relevant certificates in a few specific areas. They can play important roles in colleges, R & D centers, industryand government. In addition they may be able to advance to the teachers by taking an educational course. The department makes an effort to train the students eligible for global competition and leadership.

Environmental Science and Engineering at Kyung Hee

The Department of Environmental Science and Engineering was established in 2009 by binding two departments: department of environmental science and department of environmental engineering. and Engineering, Our department is one of the oldest programs of environmental science education and research in Korea. Founded in 1979 as a program of education and research in nature conservation, the department has steadily expanded to manage the quality of water, soil, air, and ecosystems, as well as social, political, and legal aspects of environmental processes. The department is focusing on training the students to be adaptable for theoretical and practical field sites. In particular, the ABEEK program consists of the systematic courses including general academics, MSCs, basic engineering and core environmental courses. It also requires the students to undertake several engineering design subjects compulsorily. We also offer the professional teaching course which can provide with a national certificate. The students with the certificate may become teachers at middle and high schools, or have a job in national or local governments. Many students undertaken this teachers program are working at schools and teaching areas as environment or science teachers.

Careers and Graduate Destinations

Our students have an array of employment choices after graduation. Many of our students become researchers and professors in national and private institutions after getting higher degrees of a master or PhD. Acquisition of national Environmental Manager licenses is a big asset in starting a career in management of pollution control facilities or in evaluation of environmental effects of pollutants. Other choices are also waiting for well trained students in a public servant in the environmental field, environmental consulting or teachers in middle and high schools after finishing the teachers program.
