Unsustainable industrial and human activities are directly or indirectly negatively impacting the natural environment both on a local and global scale. Moreover, engineered environmental systems originally designed and built to handle anthropogenic contaminants are failing at an alarming rate, and it is only when the operators and designers of such systems are equipped with a good knowledge of the environmental systems that such a trend could be halted. To deal with such challenges, Saudi Arabia has launched mega sustainable projects to “Fix the Past” by cleaning and protecting the environment from pollution; “Deal with the Present” by controlling the generation of waste streams from various human and industrial activities; and “Plan for the Future” by protecting the three natural resources essential for all living things: water, air, and soil. Moreover, Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 adopts sustainability in everything the Kingdom does, from policy development and investment to planning and infrastructure while addressing climate challenges.
Given the exponential growth in the environmental sector across Saudi Arabia, the region, and worldwide, there is an urgent need for well-trained environmental scientists and engineers. This Master's program is designed to fill this gap in the job market by training students to develop the skills and ability to understand underlying principles and apply state-of-the-art tools for mapping, mitigating, and reducing the detrimental environmental and health impacts resulting from different kinds of pollution. Moreover, such training will be conducted in a multidisciplinary nature to provide unconventional solutions to pressing environmental issues using the underlying principles of science, engineering, economics, sustainability, and management. It will also provide much-needed knowledge of biological, chemical, and physical processes that are used to treat contamination which may exist in different states of matter. Graduates of this Master’s program will be well-equipped to attain or retain employment in governmental and private sectors which require candidates to apply knowledge in aspects related to environmental science and engineering.
