Welcome to the Department of Environmental Engineering at Korea National University of Transportation (KNUT).
Our department was established in 1990 with the mission of training skilled professionals to address the growing environmental challenges of modern industrial society. Over the past three decades, we have produced more than 1,800 graduates who are now making significant contributions to environmental protection across Korea serving in the Ministry of Environment, local and regional governments, and national research institutions, as well as in academia, private consultancies, and engineering firms.
To meet the nation's demand for highly qualified professionals capable of tackling an increasingly complex range of environmental issues, our department offers a broad and rigorous curriculum. Students build a solid foundation in environmental engineering fundamentals while engaging with state-of-the-art facilities and emerging technologies that prepare them for a rapidly evolving field. Core areas of study include water treatment and water quality engineering with particular relevance to protecting Lake Chungju and the Namhan River, which supply drinking water to approximately 25 million residents in the greater Seoul metropolitan area as well as air quality engineering, waste management and resource recovery, and noise and vibration control.
The Department of Environmental Engineering at KNUT is dedicated not only to developing professionals with the technical expertise to protect our natural environment but also to nurturing individuals of strong character and sound values who will serve as responsible leaders in society.

Environmental Technology (ET) stands alongside Information Technology (IT) and Biotechnology (BT) as one of the three defining growth fields of the 21st century. As a discipline closely tied to public welfare and national infrastructure, environmental engineering plays a central role in addressing the environmental consequences of industrialization and guiding society toward a more sustainable future.
Our department prepares students to become environmental engineers who can think creatively, apply rigorous engineering principles, and develop practical solutions to complex environmental problems. Through an integrated curriculum that combines advanced theory, systematic design, and hands-on research, students develop the competencies needed across the full cycle of environmental practice from pollution diagnosis and assessment to remediation, restoration, prevention, and resource recovery.
Environmental engineering examines how the natural environment encompassing air, water, and soil is altered by human activity, investigates the sources and behavior of pollutants, and develops systematic strategies for environmental protection and restoration. In this sense, it is a discipline at the forefront of addressing humanity's most critical challenges.
To prepare graduates for diverse careers in the environmental sector, our department provides instruction across a wide range of areas: water resources engineering, water and wastewater treatment, air quality management and control, soil and groundwater remediation, solid waste management, noise and vibration control, ecological restoration, and eco-friendly energy convergence technologies.
