In our undergraduate program, students acquire the technical competency, communication skills, and global awareness to assume a leadership role in the environmental management arena of the future. Students experience a holistic learning environment where they integrate principles from chemical, physical, biological, and social sciences, and engineering disciplines. Field investigation, hypothesis testing by analytical and numerical experimentation, recognition of societal and economic constraints, and synthesis through mathematical modeling are integrated in the analysis of environmental problems and the creation of appropriate solutions. This knowledge base will be tested in the evaluation of real-world natural and engineered processes that impact environmental quality.

In order to graduate from the Department of Environmental Engineering, the total number of national credits that students need to be completed are 149, including 48 elective courses. The amount of ECTS credit is determined as 30 ECTS for each term, totaling 240 ECTS for 4 years (8 semesters).14 weeks for each semester that the courses may include midterm, homework, project etc. and final exams. In addition, for graduation, the student must have successfully completed two internship sessions 25 working days for each after fourth and sixth semesters respectively. The internship is credited as 2 ECTS with the prerequisite of graduation and does not participate in the average. Experience and required workload of the internship are taken into account in the content, application and workloads of the related courses in the program. In addition to this, the student is also asked to submit a thesis for the completion of a project and a thesis presentation for this study. In order to qualify for graduation, students should be successful from courses in the curriculum, the AGNO should be at least 2.50 level and all other studies must be completed.
