The Department of Environmental Health Engineering started its activity at the same time as the establishment of the School of Public Health in 1987.

The Environmental health education program was first initiated as a two-year educational program in 1987. however, it developed steadily over years and resulted in a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programs that we offer today. Currently, the department of Environmental Health Engineering is offering courses in undergraduate, postgraduate and PhD levels.

The aim of Environmental health is to train students in a way that they can solve problems in fields of Environmental Health such as water supply, water refinery, wastewater   collection, wastewater treatment,  air   pollution,   waste   collection, waste  disposal,  etc.
