Faculty of Process and Environmental Engineering is an organizational unit of Lodz University of Technology conducting research and teaching. The seat of the faculty is located at Wólczańska 213 in Łódź.
History[edit]
It was founded as the Institute of Chemical Engineering with the rights of the faculty on September 1, 1970. It was created by the merger of the Faculty of Chemical Engineering of the Food Chemistry Department and the Department of Chemical Industry Equipment of the Mechanical Faculty. The Institute was transformed into the Faculty of Process and Environmental Engineering in 1992 and operates under that name today.[1]
Activity[edit]
The Faculty of Process and Environmental Engineering (acronym WIPOŚ) has the right to grant doctoral and postdoctoral degrees in two fields: environmental engineering and chemical engineering. The faculty offers education at three levels: first-cycle studies leading to the professional title of an inżynier (Engineer), second-cycle studies - Master's degree programme and third-cycle studies - Doctoral degree programmes.
The faculty offers four areas of study:
- Biochemical Engineering (first cycle, full-time studies)
- Process Engineering (first and second cycle studies, full-time studies)
- Environmental Engineering (first and second cycle studies, full-time and part-time studies)
- Occupational Safety Engineering (first cycle studies, full-time and part-time studies)
The Faculty also conducts studies of the third degree (PhD) lasting four years in full-time in the field of Chemical Engineering in Environmental Protection.
Doctoral programmes prepare students to obtain a doctoral degree in the field of environmental engineering or chemical engineering.
In addition, the Faculty offers the following postgraduate courses:
- Safety and Occupational Health;
- Safety of Industrial Processes;
- Management of Municipal Waste;
The teaching staff of the faculty comprises 80 academics, including 30 holders of the title of professor or D. Sc. degree. Currently there are about 800 students studying full-time and 200 part-time students at the faculty as well as over 60 Ph.D. students.
Studies in Environmental Engineering were selected by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education as commissioned technical studies. The support within the project "Environmental engineering- investment in the future" was directed to students who began their education in 2011/2012.
In November 2012 the Faculty of Process and Environmental Engineering was one of the awarded units by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education as the faculty specilising in the field of study: Occupational Safety Engineering and was awarded in a "Contest for a Million" as one of the best study programmes adapting education to the needs of the labour market.
The faculty has a positive assessment of the quality of education issued by the Polish Accreditation Committee for the Chemical and Process Engineering (now Process Engineering) and Environmental Engineering. There are the following scientific student associations at the Faculty: OKTAN, SUKCES and Molier as well as the Baltic University Centre in Poland which coordinates more than 200 universities from 14 countries of the Baltic Sea Region. The Baltic University focuses on the issues of sustainable development in the Baltic Sea Region.
