The Department of Environmental Engineering was the first of its kind to be established in the Daegu and Gyeongbuk areas in 1985.

After graduating its first students in 1989, a total of 1,500 graduated up to 2013. Master and doctoral degrees have been offered in the graduate school since 1989 and 1993, respectively.

Furthermore, in order to respond to the social trends in which demands for environmental engineer experts grew rapidly from 1994, the total number of spaces for students in the undergraduate course was increased from 40 to 120. Recently, the number of students in the undergraduate course was adjusted to 70 since 2010. Thus, this department has past its infancy in setting its foundation in education, and is now in its growth stage for development in both quality and quantity aspects. Moreover, with the increasing awareness of environmental pollution, the importance of environmental engineering as a high-tech academic scholarship has come further into the limelight.
