Environmental Engineering and Energy

The Department of Environmental and Biotechnology, established in 1999, aims to foster advanced professionals that merge environmental engineering technology with energy engineering technology to go beyond the limits of traditional environmental engineering and follow current global trends

The goal is to educate advanced environmental professionals who are experts in fields including, environmental assessment and prediction, environmental health care and environmental biotechnology using the latest biotechnology techniques like genetic engineering and pollution treatment and prevention technology

As the importance of the energy field increases, the department reorganized the department into “Environmental Energy Engineering” in 2012, directly or indirectly related to the environment. Despite the short history, the department’s potential has been widely recognized and is supporting public research institutes like Center of Clean Energy and Technology supported by the ministry of industry and materials and Research Center of Environmental Technology in Kyounggi Region supported by the ministry of environment

In addition, it has been selected as a promising graduate school department in the BK21 project by the ministry of education since 1999, this allows students to receive scholarships. With these active efforts, the department is equipped perfectly with the best experimental equipment in the country and working hard to train research skills and life skills. The department is also active on providing practical industry-university collaborative education

The graduates are working at environmental organizations, environment-related enterprises, public and private research institutes, public enterprises and offices. The 1st graduates in 2003 recorded 100% employment.
