Environmental Engineering Program – Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering

Environmental Engineering Program (EnvE) has its origin from a school of engineering called Technische Hogeschool Bandoeng (THS) which was established on July 3, 1920.  As the demand on sanitary engineers increased, Sanitary Engineering Department was founded on October 10, 1962, under the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Planning. The growth of industries and urban infrastructure development had urged the need of environmental quality improvement. In 1982, the Government of Indonesia enacted the Law of Principal Rule of Environment Management. These challenges highlight the need to broaden the scope of sanitary engineering to not only dealing with human health, but also with protecting the environment from pollution. On January 5, 1984 the name of Sanitary Engineering was changed to Environmental Engineering by the decree of Directorate General of Higher Education, Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture Number 119/DIKTI/Kep/1984. Starting from a program that only offerred one undergraduate program, in 1962, it is now an institution of higher education that offers five undergraduate and graduate programs.

Environmental Engineering Bachelor Program

Environmental Engineering Study Program of ITB is an higher education institution and a center for the development of science and technology that has a competitive and reliable advantage and is dignified in the field of engineering and management, particularly in residential, urban and rural environments, industry, mining, oil and gas, and natural environments related with the built environment. Our graduates are expected to: (1) have basic knowledge and problem solving skills in the field of Environmental Engineering; (2) be able to apply the science of Environmental Engineering and be able to deal with the latest changes & developments in their fields; and (3) have sense of social sensitivity – nationality & sensitivity of environment in general.

International Class

Starting in 2019, Environmental Engineering ITB opens an International Class Program. We offer a full English 4 years bachelor program with high international exposure. Students have opportunities for interacting with international academia and participating in students exchange program.

As one of ITB goals to become World Class University (WCU), a new program was created to elevate in these ever-changing world so, therefore, internationalization was needed due to reach those certain goals. In one of ITB (statuta) there’s said in order to make a better higher education and as a purpose for ITB is to elevate, develop, and spread the knowledge, technology, art, social study, and human social to make a better generation in line with society in Indonesia that are dynamics and also with more global society around the world. With still holding on to humanity, social, and environmental values through the activity written in Tridharma. The arrangement of this new program aligns with values and one of the support from ITB to make a better set of graduates in the generation for solving a problem and issues around environmental, local, national and even international scale. So on 19 August 2019, the first batch of the International class was made and started their study as a leading one.
