Course Description
The Environmental Science and Engineering program focuses directly on many of KAUST's research challenges. There is worldwide concern with the availability of clean water, and Environmental Engineering examines methods to purify and reuse water, as well as to reduce contamination of existing reserves. Research in environmental engineering allows examination of the impact of humans on our environment through resource exploitation, including overconsumption, land degradation, and pollution of air and water. The results of such research may offer solutions to cleaning up excessive carbon dioxide levels, addressing ozone depletion, decontaminating the soil, and taclking some of the issues associated with climate change. KAUST is uniquely positioned to utilize high-performace computational technologies to confront these issues efficiently and effectively.This program comprises four tracks: Water Quality, Chemistry and Treatment; Environmental Microbiology and Biotechnology; Environmental Hydrology and Fluid Mechanics; and a Tailored Track.
