The Department
The department was found in 1964 as Department of Water and Soil Conservation. In 1988, the department was changed into the Department of Water Resources and Environmental Engineering. Currently the department offers an interdisciplinary undergraduate program that consists of joint programs in the fields of water resource and environmental engineering. The graduate programs offer M.S. and Ph.D. degrees.
The undergraduate program offers the basic knowledge required for water resource and environmental majors. The program is designed to train students with a strong foundation for engineering practice and for further study in the related fields.
The M.S. program provides graduate students with both the professional knowledge for engineering professionals and research capability in the related fields. The Ph.D. program is designed to prepare students become engineers or researchers who can perform both academic and practical engineering researches.
The department's laboratories and facilities include the fields of Fluid Mechanics, Open Channel Hydraulics, Environmental Engineering and Wind Tunnels. The low-speed wind tunnel is one of the best in Taiwan, with a cross-section of 3.2 meters*2.0 meters and an 18 m long test section with a maximum power of 75 hp.
