Environmental Engineering Department

The Department of Environmental Engineering was established in 1992 and the number of the undergraduate students is 220. To graduate fully qualified engineers continuing efforts are given to increase the number of academic personnel. The department has shown a big improvement in the means of laboratory and computer capacity since the year it was established and continues to improve.

In the Department, projects are prepared, wastewater and drinking water analyses are done and emission reports are prepared according to demands coming from Industrial Establishments and Organized Industrial Regions, in and around Konya City.
