The Dept. of EWCE strives to develop young leaders in the sector of environment, water resource and coastal engineering. To expand the horizon of the students’ depth of knowledge, analytical skills and practical experiences, the department provides state of the art classrooms as well as well-equipped laboratories. The Environmental Engineering Laboratory and the Water Resource Engineering Laboratory owns many sophisticated instruments and flow channels. These laboratories provide commercial testing as well as consultancy services and playing significant roles in many national projects of the country.   

One of the core mission of EWCE department is to promote research that makes a difference on the big issues, encourages the rethinking of existing perspectives and facilitates publications for faculty members and students. Research and project works are done under the supervision of a faculty member who guides the student and helps to develop a sound research skill. During the last couple of years, the research work of our faculties and students have resulted in 48 Journal/book chapter publications and over 50 conference papers, having a global footprint to include countries like UK, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, Portugal, India to name a few.
