This program seeks to produce environmental scientist and engineers with a strong fundamental technical education, who master theoretical course of environmental science & engineering and experimental skills. The program is for students who seek a broad education in application of environmental science & engineering to a variety of specific areas, including environment and energy, environmental chemistry, water and wastewater engineering, air pollution control engineering, solid waste treatment, environmental catalysis, environmental monitoring, as well as environmental biology. Environmental science & engineering students acquire the necessary background and skills to design/optimize environmental waste treatment processes, and know how to carry out the fundamental and applied investigation on the problems found in environmental industry.

Environmental science & engineering includes water and wastewater treatment technology, optimization of water supply and drainage systems, solid waste and waste gas pollution purification, biological energy development and utilization, ecological restoration, environmental management and planning, and low-carbon technologies. In recent years, School of Environmental Science and Engineering has undertaken a number of national research projects, and won over 10 provincial science and technology progress prize. At the same time, School of Environmental Science and Engineering has cultivated a large number of environment engineers and high-level scientific researchers.

The main directions in the engineering field include:
1. Water pollution control and water resources comprehensive utilization technology
2. Air pollution control and waste gas purification technology
3. Solid waste disposal and energy utilization technology
4. Ecological restoration technology
5. Environmental planning and management
6. Environmental monitoring and environmental impact assessment

The program aims to develop independent innovation activities, skills of international academic communication, and spirit of collective cooperation, so that the students will become highly qualified professionals in the field of environmental science & engineering.
