B.E. (Environmental Engineering)
Bachelor of Engineering in Environmental Engineering

Duration:	4 Years
Level:	10+2
Type:	Degree
Eligibility:	10+2 or Equivalent

B.E. Environmental Engineering or Bachelor of Engineering in Environmental Engineering is an undergraduate Environmental Engineering course. Environmental engineering is the application of science and engineering principles to improve the environment such as air, water, and/or land resources, to provide healthy water, air, and land for human habitation and for other organisms, and to remediate polluted sites. The course provides broad studies in the physical, chemical, and biological sciences in addition to course work in civil, mechanical, and/or chemical engineering. Undergraduate students working toward a degree in Environmental Engineering will take courses that cover these fields including microbiology, organic chemistry, microbiology, hydrology, engineering geology and others. The duration of the course is four years and its syllabus is divided into two semesters each year.

B.E. Environmental Engineering Eligibility
