What will you learn?
This field is also known as soil and water resources engineering. Engineering aids the conservation of these two resources through research on the interaction between soils, plants, and water, such as the way these resources are used in the planning of irrigation and drainage systems, soil and water conservation, as well as agricultural production facilities. With the application of tools such as artificial intelligence, remote sensing, and GIS modeling, systems are designed to solve problems related to soil and water that affect the agricultural communities. Research on irrigation and drainage projects in the agricultural landscaping industry and recreational parks require the use of information engineering, automation, remote sensing and GIS. Research is focused on coming up with better solutions to problems in land and water resources development, and management of irrigation and drainage systems; as well as on methods to reduce and control erosion and sedimentation, and methods to reduce and control pollution of streams, rivers and lakes, and methods for water treatment. Relevant issues include increasing productivity through irrigation and drainage system design and management, control of soil erosion and sedimentation, water quality and quantity, geospatial information system, and non-point source pollution control.

English Requirement
• A Malaysian candidate must have obtained at least a credit in English at Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia level or have passed English courses conducted at the diploma or Bachelor’s level.
• All international candidates from countries where English is not a medium of instruction must have obtained a minimum score of 550 for TOEFL Paper-based Test (Academic Version); or Band 6.0 for IELTS (Academic Training) ; or 79-80 for TOEFL Internet-based Test (Academic Version).
• A candidate without requisite minimum score for TOEFL or IELTS may be granted a provisional admission. Such candidate will be required to pass an English Placement Test conducted by the University.
• A candidate who has failed the English Placement Test will be required in the rest semester to pass a prescribed English Course. Should the candidate fail to obtain the prescribed minimum grade, the University may allow him to repeat the prescribed English course in the second semester.
• A candidate who fails after the second attempt will have his candidature suspended until he passes the English course before allowed to continue with his Master’s program.
Core areas of emphasis
Courses on watershed hydrology, soil physics, hydrodynamics, water resources systems, river flow analysis, flood control and mitigation, flood modeling and forecasting and concepts in soil and water relation provide the solid foundation to the advanced co
Career prospects
Environmental engineers use the principles of engineering, soil science, biology, and chemistry to develop solutions to environmental problems. They work to improve recycling, waste disposal, public health, and water and air pollution control.
