Course of the Week- BSc. Soil, Water & Environmental Engineering

September 26, 2017September 26, 2017 The Editor

The Soil, Water & Environmental Engineering program aims at producing specialized engineers combining biological and technical skills to address issues in agro-industrial development and consequent environmental problems. With the rapid human population growth, expansions in food production as well as environmental degradation of varying magnitudes are taking place.

To mitigate these and sustain agricultural and industrial production systems, the department trains engineers in;

Solid and liquid Waste management
GIS & Remote sensing
Soil and water Engineering
Environmental Impact Assessment

Offered by the School of School of Biosystems and Environmental Engineering (SOBEE),under the College of Engineering and Technology (CoETEC), the degree program takes five (5) academic years to complete.

The Soil, Water and Environmental Engineering Department program aims to:
Prepare students for a fulfilling career in the fields of natural resource development
Apply basic sciences to solve problems in production systems and environmental protection
Encourage creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship
Develop a mindset for teamwork and leadership
Develop a culture for continuous learning and development
Produce engineers with capacity to solve problems and communicate effectively.
