BACHELOR OF ENGINEERING IN ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING
The ASU Environmental Engineering Program teaches students about the technology and tools required to practice Professional Environmental Engineering. Environmental issues are a global challenge faced by all countries. Environmental engineers apply science and engineering principles to improve the natural environment to provide clean water, air and land for human habitation. They work on air pollution control, water and wastewater treatment, waste management, alternative energy and conservation in both the public and private sectors. This program aims to fulfil the growing demand for qualified environmental engineers. Emphasis of the ASU Environmental Engineering Program is placed on engineering, scientific, and technical courses so that the requirements for professional-engineering licensure are met. The curriculum was chosen to concentrate on the application of environmental engineering principles to the solution of real world environmental-engineering problems.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
The engineering sector will continue to be an essential contributor to the future sustainable development of the Sultanate of Oman. Furthermore, there will always be great demand for qualified and experienced engineers to implement the nations’ economic diversification strategy and to enhance the social and economic development of the country. Graduates from the BEng Environmental Engineering program will find employment involving the engineering and design of water supply and waste water treatment facilities, water desalination plants, water irrigation systems, water and waste water pumping stations, pipelines, drainage systems, and other major facilities. They are also employed during the construction, commissioning, operations and maintenance of such water and waste water infrastructure facilities. Graduates from the program may pursue further studies leading to award of a Master’s degree or Doctor of Philosophy.
A’Sharqiyah University (ASU) is a private institution of higher education located in the north of the A’Sharqiyah region of the Sultanate of Oman. It is located in Ibra 150 km from Muscat, the capital. It was established in 2009 by Ministerial Decision (78/2009) issued by the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation.
