The college
provides educational opportunities for students at different levels including
postgraduate level leading to a Master or Doctoral degree, and undergraduate
level leading to a Bachelor degree.
Postgraduate
Degrees
Many students entering the college seek postgraduate degrees, preparing
for careers as expert environmental/resources problem-solvers after two to
three years of study. The college currently award 5 Master degrees, which are
the Master of Science degree in Environmental Sciences, Master of Engineering
(ME) degree in Environmental Engineering, Master of Engineering degree in Geological
Engineering, Master of Engineering degree in Civil Engineering, and Master of
Science (MSc) degree in Cartography and Geographical Information System (GIS)
(specific to Remote Sensing, RS), and 2 Doctoral degrees, including Remote
Sensing of Environment and Resources and Tunnel Safety.
Undergraduate
Degrees
The college currently has three undergraduate programs. Students enroll
in a four-year program leading to the Bachelor of Engineering (BE) degree. The
college currently offers BE in Environmental Engineering, BE in Safety Technology,
BSc in Urban and Rural Planning, and BE in Exploration Technology and
Engineering
The academic degree programs are provided by the following
departments/institutes, respectively:
Dept. of Environmental Science and Engineering
- ME in Environmental Engineering
- MSc in Environmental Science (will be available in
August 2004)
- BE in Environmental Engineering.
Dept. of Safety Technology
- PhD in Tunnel Safety
- BE in Safety Technology.
Dept. of Resources and Urban Rural Planning
- PhD in Tunnel Safety
- BE in Exploration
- BSc in Urban and Rural Panning
Institute of Civil Engineering
Institute of Geoinformation Science and Technology
- PhD in Remote Sensing of Environment and
Resources
- MSc in Cartography and GIS (specific to RS)
Undergraduate students enrolling at the college also have the
opportunity to seek the second Bachelor degree in Law, Arts and Business
offered by other faculties in this university.
Master/Doctoral
Degree in Remote Sensing
The program in the college is currently focused on satellite remote
sensing application in environments and resources. The program trains students
to understand the scientific basis and principles of remote sensing, and to
learn the digital image processing of remotely sensed data using the most
advanced software package like ER Mapper, ENVI, etc. In addition, the students
also have to understand environmental, ecological and resources problems, to
learn the social, political and economic factors that cause these problems and
to find out the determinative effective options for their sustainable solutions.
The degree develops experts in digital image processing, monitoring
environmental and resources dynamics and analysis of regional ecosystem on the
basis of spatial data sources. The candidates have to complete courses credits
(18 hours/credit) and, in addition, a thesis to earn their degrees. To obtain
their degree, students should have scores of core courses be greater or equal
to 70, and at least formally publish one paper related to their research
topics.
