In order to
minimize the impact of the pollution in the Mekong
Delta due to the fast economic growth, and
to meet the demand of human resource for solving environmental
problems, the Can Tho University College
of Technology decided to establish the
Environmental Engineering and Renewable Energy Center
(EEREC) in 1999, under the authority of Can Tho University Rectorate
Board. Since the foundation day, the
Center has been tenured by a faculty
of diverse academic
backgrounds and experience related
to environmental engineering, environmental management, renewable
energy, hydraulic engineering, and civil
engineering. The Center has majored in teaching,
doing research, and consulting on environmental-related issues; and
on hydraulic construction work plan, design, and management.
In 25/05/2005, EEREC
was formally renamed as Department of Environmental & Water
Resources Engineering whose acronym is DEWRE.
The DEWRE is
responsible for:
-
Training scientists and technicians
on environmental engineering, hydraulic construction and
water management for the Mekong Delta
provinces.
-
Doing research on environmental issues
especially on water-related issues in
the Mekong Delta.
-
Doing research on
applying modern technology to
environmental engineering and hydraulic construction in the Mekong
Delta.
Training activities
DEWRE offers
30 core courses
in the field of Environmental Engineering, Hydraulic Structure and
Water Resource Management, for which
approximately 1000 undergraduate students are currently (2005-2006)
attending. DEWRE also offers a GIS (geographical information system)
course to BSc. and MSc. students from
the Fishery
Department and the Environmental
Science Department.
At the present time,
DEWRE is preparing to open Environmental Engineering and
Water Resources Management
graduate (Msc.) courses.
Research

Currently,
DEWRE is concentrating on the following
research topics:
-
Waste
