Engineers and other professionals are continually facing the daunting task of managing waste and wastewater issues. Recognizing the need for education and training of personnel that can handle such problems efficiently, the Environmental Engineering Department was set up in 1976. It aims to train students to become leaders in civil engineering with environment and sustainability concerns in mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 641px; height: 203px;\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"290\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-713\" style=\"margin: 5px;\" title=\"JKAS1(1)\" src=\"https:\/\/fke.utm.my\/biomedical\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2012\/08\/JKAS11-300x185.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"185\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fke.utm.my\/biomedical\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2012\/08\/JKAS11-300x185.png 300w, https:\/\/fke.utm.my\/biomedical\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2012\/08\/JKAS11.png 581w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/span><\/td>\n<td colspan=\"1\" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\" width=\"350\">\n<div align=\"justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">The department has developed and promoted forward-looking academic research and internationalisation by having academic staff and research fellow from overseas, as well as establishing joint-research efforts with foreign institutions.
