I. Similarities:
The two majors were formerly water supply and drainage majors, which were approved to be established in 1953. Undergraduate students 1955 began to enroll students, and master students 1959 began to enroll students. 1980 set up environmental engineering specialty on the basis of water supply and drainage engineering, 198 1 recruit undergraduate and graduate students in environmental engineering and award master's degree in environmental engineering. These two majors are the key construction majors of Tianjin University, with first-class doctoral and master's degree programs in environmental science and engineering, doctoral and master's degree programs in municipal engineering and master's degree programs in environmental engineering. In 2003, the postdoctoral research mobile station of environmental science and engineering was established.
The teachers of the two majors are the same. 25 people, including 6 professors (including 5 doctoral supervisors), associate professors 10, doctors 15, and 8 masters. During the Seventh Five-Year Plan, the Eighth Five-Year Plan, the Tenth Five-Year Plan, the Eleventh Five-Year Plan, 863 and 973, and the National Natural Science Foundation of Tianjin, he undertook and completed more than 40 national key scientific and technological projects. Most of the achievements have reached the domestic leading level, and some of them have reached the international advanced level, and won many provincial and ministerial scientific and technological progress awards 10. In the past five years, he has published more than 200 articles in important journals and international conferences at home and abroad.
The postgraduate education system of the two majors is the same, with 3 years of doctor and 2.5 years of master.
Second, the difference:
The differences between them mainly lie in the research direction, curriculum setting, applicable fields and so on.
1, research direction
The research direction of environmental engineering specialty mainly lies in the theory and technology of water treatment and sewage recycling; Theory and technology of sludge treatment and disposal; Theory and technology of air pollution control; Control technology of volatile organic waste gas and malodorous gas; Solid waste and gas pollution purification technology; Treatment technology of landfill leachate; Theory and technology of biological control of toxic and harmful pollutants; Bio-energy development and waste recycling; Low-carbon technology development; Environmental engineering system optimization and mathematical simulation; Water resources and water environment planning and management; Total water environment control technology; Environmental biotechnology; Phytoremediation technology of polluted environment; Application of GIS in environmental engineering: urban landscape water quality maintenance technology, etc.
The research direction of municipal engineering specialty lies in the theory and technology of water treatment and sewage recycling; Advanced oxidation technology and membrane separation process; Water pollution control theory and technology; Development and utilization of water resources; Urban water supply and drainage system optimization and security technology: research and application of building water supply and drainage technology: industrial wastewater pollution control technology; Sludge reduction and recycling technology of municipal sewage treatment plant: micro-polluted water treatment and safe transportation and distribution; Theory and technology of sludge treatment and resource utilization; Application of GIS in municipal engineering: urban landscape water quality maintenance technology, etc.
2. Curriculum setting
On the curriculum, environmental engineering majors mainly offer: modern environmental monitoring technology and advanced environmental chemistry, modern environmental biotechnology and experiments, advanced environmental engineering principles, wastewater biological treatment theory and mathematical model, physical and chemical processes in water and wastewater treatment, anaerobic biological treatment technology, biological phosphorus and nitrogen removal of sewage, environmental engineering geographic information system, urban solid waste disposal and recycling, urban resource utilization and environmental governance, water supply and drainage engineering system optimization, computer technology and its application in environmental engineering.
On the basis of environmental engineering, municipal engineering majors offer courses such as water supply and drainage system optimization, computer technology and its application in environmental engineering, new water supply and drainage technology for high-rise buildings, and computer simulation of liquid-gas transmission and distribution system.
3. Professional application fields
The future application fields of environmental engineering specialty include: planning and management, environmental assessment, scientific research, operation management engineering, engineering design, product development, engineering construction, production and operation, environmental education, etc. In environmental protection departments, environmental engineering fields, sewage treatment plants and waterworks, municipal and urban architectural design institutes, industrial and mining enterprises, engineering construction units, universities and other fields.
The future application fields of municipal engineering specialty are: municipal and urban architectural design research units, real estate industry, sewage treatment plants and waterworks, industrial and mining enterprises, engineering construction units, universities and other fields of engineering design, scientific research, project management, operation management, production and operation, product development, engineering construction and education.
From the application point of view, there are still obvious differences between the two.
