Environmental Science and Engineering Department
Evolution of the Environmental Science and Engineering Department at IIT Bombay.
The Environmental Science and Engineering Department (ESED) was established in 1985 as a centre for Environmental Science and Engineering, and recently in February 2019 got the department status. Prior to this, an "Environmental Science and Engineering Group" comprising faculty members from various allied disciplines existed on campus since 1977.
ESED currently has a dedicated group of faculty members with multi-disciplinary backgrounds and interests. The graduate program offered by this department prepares individuals for careers as engineers and scientists in Environmental Quality and Pollution Control.
The program offers coursework and research opportunities leading to master's and doctoral degrees and ultimately enables graduates to contribute to solving current and future environmental problems.
Since its inception, the department has established strong links with leading industries, institutions, and national and international funding agencies. Research projects are currently funded by reputed organizations such as CIAR (USA), DST, AERB, and MOEF.
