The Environmental Engineering Department is one of the academic units under the Faculty of Engineering at Diponegoro University, officially established in 1998 and began accepting its first students in the 1999 academic year. Since its inception, the Environmental Engineering Department has been committed to contributing to the development of education, research, and community service in the field of environmental engineering. As stated in its founding spirit,
“This department was established to meet the need for reliable and professional Environmental Engineering experts who can actively contribute to addressing environmental issues in line with population growth, increasing public awareness of a healthy environment, the challenges of global climate change, and efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).”
In carrying out its educational program, the Environmental Engineering Department implements a carefully and sustainably designed curriculum. This curriculum emphasizes a balance between mastery of science and character development, with the aim of producing educated, skilled graduates with broad insights. The learning process is directed to encourage critical, creative, and innovative thinking abilities, so that graduates can act professionally and adaptively to the developments in science and technology. The Department of Environmental Engineering equips students with technical competencies in various key areas, including clean water treatment, wastewater treatment, solid waste management, air pollution control, and environmental sanitation thru an engineering approach. In addition to these core competencies, students are also equipped with supporting knowledge that includes occupational health and safety, project management, communication skills, and the development of an entrepreneurial spirit as preparation for the professional world. As part of the holistic education development, the Department of Environmental Engineering also encourages students to develop their interests and talents in the fields of religion, arts, culture, and sports. Students gain organizational and leadership experience thru the Environmental Engineering Student Association (HMTL), which serves as a means of developing soft skills, teamwork, and social awareness. Thru this approach, the Department of Environmental Engineering at Diponegoro University strives to produce graduates who excel academically, possess strong character, and are ready to contribute to sustainable environmental development.
