Environmental engineering at the Technical University of Crete is a five year programme leadin g to the Diploma of Environmental Engineering. The minimum number of courses required is 60. The students must also submit an undergraduate thesis. The environmental engineering subjects are covered both from a civil engineering approach (hydrology, hydraulics, water resources management) and a chemical engineering approach (unit operations, processes) a nd, therefore, are supported by academic staff who predominantly come from the respective engineering background. During their final year (9 th and 10 th semesters) the students must take a capstone design course. A different design theme is examined every year, such as municipal wastewater treatment for specific areas using different treatment methods or designin g recycling systems for various materials in a specif ic area. The course is being supervised by non-academic qualified engineers holding doctorates (consultants, environmental authorities). Lectures on environmental impact assessment and engineering economics, as well as seminars delivered by design engineers on the speci fic subject are also part of the course. In addition to the undergraduate curriculum, the Department offers two postgraduate programmes leading to MSc and doctoral degrees.
