About the course

Environmental Systems Engineering (ESE) focuses on protecting the health of our water, land and urban systems. Over the past 30 years, the ESE Group at the University of British Columbia has been a global leader in the field of Environmental Systems Engineering. In the 1970?s and 80's, the Group was at the forefront of the development of biological phosphorus removal technologies. In the 1990's, the Group was instrumental in maintaining Canada?s lead in the development of green technologies both in the natural resource sector (e.g. forest industry) and in urban/agricultural water and waste management sectors. Since the start of the millennia, the Group continues to be a world leader through the development and commercialization of technologies essential to address emerging environmental challenges, both locally and globally. Examples of ongoing research by the Group include the recovery of nutrients and energy from wastes (e.g. anaerobic membrane bioreactors, membrane enhanced biological nutrient recovery, phosphorous crystallization) and the production of high quality water (e.g. integrated biological systems, water recovery/cascading/reuse, membrane technologies).
