Air, Soil, and Water: three basic human needs representing global environmental issues for the decades to come. Sine all three linked by each other, it is more complex and challenging due to uncertainties presented by various pollutants in them and awareness of climate change in this planet Earth. Thus the aim of JBNU DEE is to make unbalances of them, originated from human activities, right by nurturing environmental professionals and conducting in-depth academic researches.
To be a successful environmental engineer, society demands a firm basis of professional knowledge. The undergraduate program at JBNU DEE, therefore, is fully accredited by Accreditation Board Engineering Education of Korea (ABEEK). Freshman and sophomore are expected to focus on basic knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and general engineering. With those basics, junior and senior classes focus on achieving ability to design environmental engineering systems, components, and processes, in conjunction with economics, environments, ethics, sustainability and other considerations.
Thus graduates are equipped with abilities to identify, formulate, and solve environmental engineering problems together with effective communication skills at a personal level through written reports and oral presentations which utilize professional-quality visual aids.
