The principal objective of environmental and civil engineering is to create facilities that benefit the economical development, environmental protection and social well-being. Environmental and civil engineers play a leading role in the conception, planning, realization and operation of such facilities and systems, and also in the solutions of problems in various fields (e.g., highways, modern water systems and efficient traffic flow).The scope of environmental and civil engineering education and research activities at HIT is quite broad and multifaceted because the engineers in this field deal with the projects which could be very large and costly, and sometimes have potentially profound environmental, social and financial impacts. The design of such projects requires the engineers to solve complex technological and scientific problems. The principal educational objective of our department is to give students the fundamental knowledge and skills needed for environmental and civil engineers who must consider and resolve the problems related with the construction and maintenance of infrastructures in harmony with society and the environment. |

The curriculum of the Department of Environmental and Civil Engineering is composed of five programs: cultural studies, foreign language, physical education, basic science and the engineering education program. The program is rich in flexibility so that students can make their own time-tables according to personal needs and objectives. Responding to the needs of modern society, our department offers two programs: construction and environmental engineering. By following the environmental program, students gain a deeper insight into the essence of environmental issues and learn the fundamental procedures of how to resolve problems. In the construction program, they study the current systems of modern construction works. |
