Profile of the Programme

Environmental engineers address environmental challenges that impact both public health and the environment. They leverage their technical expertise to formulate methodologies and technologies aimed at the purification and safeguarding of air, water, and soil quality. Moreover, environmental engineers are actively engaged in tackling contemporary global issues, including the societal and ecological consequences of climate change. Additionally, they focus on ongoing matters such as sustainability and the circular economy. Environmental engineers excel in optimizing natural resource utilization, facilitating the development of renewable energy resources, and enhancing the efficiency of existing materials.

The Department of Environmental Engineering, a pioneering division of Anadolu University's Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, commenced its undergraduate and graduate (master's and doctorate) programs during the 1994-1995 academic year. Following the enactment of legislation published in Official Gazette No. 7141 on May 18, 2018, the Faculty of Engineering at Anadolu University was autonomously established and incorporated into the newly founded Eskişehir Technical University. The department is staffed by 11 Professors, 4 Associate Professors, 4 Assistant Professors, 1 Lecturer Dr., and 3 Teaching Assistants. It holds a 5-year accreditation from MÜDEK, covering the period from 2022 to 2025, and has been bestowed the EUR-ACE label.
