Environmental engineering is a professional engineering discipline related to environmental science. It encompasses broad scientific topics like chemistry, biology, ecology, geology, microbiology and mathematics to create solutions that will protect and also improve the health of living organisms and improve the quality of the environment.

The Department offers B.E program in Environmental Engineering from 2009 with intake of 60 students. The graduate course was framed on the basis of Anna University syllabi emphasizing real time environmental problems. The curriculum covers Air, Water, Soil pollution and Management technologies, Environmental Engineering, Instrumental methods of analysis, Environmental Toxicology, Environmental Impact Assessment, Ecology, Climate change, Remote Sensing and GIS, Urban planning and Solid & Hazardous waste management etc.

To develop technologies which are environmental friendly, economically sound and community need based for sustainable development.

• Imparts quality education for emerging technologies in pollution control & environmental engineering.
• A broad range of elective coursework that allows you to follow your specific environmental interests.
• Highly standard professional labs facilities
• Department collaborate with industries, government sectors, academic & research organization thereby enhance practical knowledge.

Three major areas of applicability of the Environmental Engineering are

• Management of natural resources,
• Conservation of ecosystem and biodiversity, and
• Prevention and control of pollution.

Major career options related to the subject can be described as follows:

1. Industries: Industries need to comply with a number of environmental regulations.
2. Research and Development: These opportunities in this area include studying different types of pollution and their many causes and effects.
3. Research and Development:These opportunities in this area include studying different types of pollution and their many causes and effects.
4. Green marketing: Skilled manpower is required to promote eco friendly products in local market.
5. Green media:There is an urgent need for skilled manpower in print and electronic media to create environmental awareness.
6. Green advocacy:Environmental lawyers are emerging as major players in ensuring proper enforcement of environmental regulations, laws, and programmers.
7. Government jobs: Many numbers of conventional and current common jobs are available in government bodies such as environmental ministry, pollution control boards, national parks, and biosphere reserves.

1. Engineering knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.
2. Problem analysis: Identify, formulate, review research literature, and analyze complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of Mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering sciences.
3. Design/development of solutions: Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for the public health and safety, and the cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
4. Conduct investigations of complex problems: Use research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.
5. Modern tool usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modeling to complex engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations.
6. The engineer and society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice.
7. Environment and sustainability: Understand the impact of the professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for sustainable development.
8. Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of the engineering practice.
9. Individual and team work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams, and in multidisciplinary settings.
10. Communication: Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as, being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
11. Project management and finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the engineering and management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.
12. Life-long learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.
