The Department of Environmental, Water Resources and Coastal Engineering (EWCE) at the Military Institute of Science and Technology (MIST) has established itself as a cornerstone of specialized engineering education in Bangladesh since its inception in January 2015. With a clear vision to become a world-class school, the department focuses on developing highly specialized personnel in environmental, water resources, and coastal engineering fields to meet the socio-economic and ethical needs of the nation through sustainable practices. The academic framework is built upon three primary undergraduate programs: B.Sc. in Civil and Environmental Engineering, B.Sc. in Civil and Water Resources Engineering, and a future plan for a B.Sc. in Civil and Coastal Engineering. These programs emphasize a deep integration of engineering science and design, offering students the chance to tackle real-world challenges under the mentorship of a multi-skilled faculty that leads the nation in research areas such as hydrology, wastewater treatment, and disaster resilience.
Beyond traditional undergraduate studies, the department is a hub for professional advancement through its diverse array of short courses designed to bridge the gap between academic learning and industry application. These training modules, which include specialized instruction on Remote Sensing and GIS, ETABS, and Delft3D, cater to students and industry professionals alike, fostering continuous skill development and technical capacity building. The department’s infrastructure is equally robust, featuring state-of-the-art facilities like the Environmental Engineering Laboratory—equipped with high-end analytical tools such as Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometers and TOC Analyzers—and the Water Resource Engineering Laboratory, which utilizes large flow channels and Echo Sounders to simulate hydraulic behavior and coastal processes.
The department also maintains a strong focus on research and consultancy through its specialized wings, the Center for Advisory and Testing Services (CATS-EWCE) and the Center for Environmental and Water Management (CEWM). These centers engage in critical national projects, ranging from river training and coastal protection to fecal sludge management and sustainable wastewater recycling. Furthermore, student life is enriched by the MIST Environment Club, which promotes campus-wide sustainability, and a dedicated departmental library that serves as a research hub for students and faculty. Since graduating its first batch, EWCE has seen its alumni successfully transition into influential roles within government departments, international NGOs, and top-tier industrial firms, solidifying the department’s reputation as an essential driver of engineering excellence and national development.
