JEONBUK NATIONAL UNIVERSITY
The Department of Environmental Engineering in the School of Civil, Environmental, and Resource–Energy Engineering aims to cultivate professionals with the expertise to understand and solve various environmental pollution issues arising from climate change, industrial development, and urban population concentration. The department is also committed to advancing scholarly research in the field of environmental engineering.
To acquire such professional knowledge, students must first establish a solid foundation in the basic sciences. Through general education and lower-division courses, students gain essential knowledge by studying the causes of pollution, types of pollutants, their effects, and analytical methods. They also learn about water pollution, waste treatment and resource recycling, air pollution, and related foundational subjects such as micro-meteorology, analytical chemistry, and environmental microbiology.
Building upon this foundation, students progress to advanced courses that cover specialized knowledge in environmental pollution control and prevention, including:
- Air Pollution and Micro-meteorology
- Wastewater Treatment Engineering
- Hazardous Waste Management
- Risk Assessment
- Sludge Treatment Engineering
- Indoor Air Pollution Control Engineering
- Water Supply and Sewerage Engineering
- Design of Wastewater Treatment Plants
- Environmental Impact Assessment
- Waste Treatment Engineering
- Air Pollution Control System Design
- Environmental Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
Through this systematic curriculum, the department provides students with both theoretical understanding and practical skills, fostering engineers and researchers capable of addressing environmental challenges and contributing to sustainable development.
