Environmental Engineering DepartmentCollege of EngineeringUniversity of Baghdad

The Department of Environmental Engineering at University of Baghdad - College of Engineering has dedicated faculty applying state of the art technologies, utilizing excellent facilities, small classes, and a supportive staff to help students in the department to reach their academic and career goals. Graduates students, who can be found in agencies and businesses throughout the country, are the best indicator of the dedication to student success. Environmental Engineering Department at the College of Engineering- Baghdad University began as a postgraduate program at the Civil Engineering Department in 1986. In 1997, the present department was established as the Department of Environmental Engineering for postgraduate studies. Undergraduate studies were included in 2005 making the Department a full-fledged one at the College of Engineering. In this department more than 250 papers have been published, in which 100 of them were a joint work with other Iraqi establishments. Most of these papers were published in International Journals with impact factors. The department graduated more than 210 PhD. and MSc. students. Scientific research activities included different environmental areas, such as, pollution of water, air and soil, in particular industrial and radioactive contamination, and their effect on human and the surrounding environment. Many of the achieved projects have been registered as patents. Many of the faculty members of the department have participation in international and Arabic conferences deal with different environmental areas. The department offers engineering programs leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.), Master of Science (M.Sc.) and Degree of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Environmental Engineering. The annual system of study is followed in the department for the (B.Sc.) undergraduate study. The study period is 4 years with 152 units distributed over the four years of study. For the postgraduate study, the

semester's system of study is followed in the department. The minimum period of study is 2 years for the M.Sc. and 3 years for the Ph.D. degrees. The first year for both studies is for courses with two semesters. The second year for M.Sc. is for thesis work. The second and third years for Ph.D. are for dissertation work. The Ph.D. students had to pass a comprehensive exam before they can register on a dissertation.

For the BSc.'s degree in Environmental Engineering, the syllabus of this degree covers the theoretical and practical studies in different environmental areas.
