Department of Environmental Health Engineering
History:
The Department of Environmental Health started its work with the establishment of the Faculty of Health in 2004 and with the admission of undergraduate students in environmental health engineering as an independent group. In 2010, the group succeeded in obtaining a master's degree in environmental health engineering. After about 7 years of M.A. Prgram Degree , in September 2018, the group succeeded to set up and receive Ph.D. students. The group now has 6 full-time teaching staff (1 professor, 4 associate professors, and 1 assistant professor) and a faculty member who offers his/ her educational and research activities to students in three sections: undergraduate, postgraduate and Ph.D.
Educational Objectives of the Group:
The training of well-trained and expert human resources in a wide variety of environmental health , is the main objective of the Environmental Health department and presents in two levels.
