The Energy & Environment Engineers group is a forum for promoting communication and interaction among the personnel involved in this new emerging field to discuss issues, latest updates and information with Energy & Environment Family. The Department Energy and Environment Engineering has been established by the GoP in Quaid-e-Awam University of Engineering, Science & Technology, Nawabshah, Sind
h, Pakistan since 2005. (Energy and Environment) and offering Masters of Engineering (M.E) & Ph.D Programmes also. Solving global energy problems is a great challenge to human society. As Oil, Gas, Coal, Nuclear, Wind, Biomass and Solar are the major sources of energy, it is therefore important to implement and improve energy efficiency and to reduce environmental pollution. Therefore, the emphasis has been given to cover the following important areas in the syllabus of this course:
• Exploration and processing of various conventional as well as renewable energy resources and power generation
• Environmental impacts of energy production and utilization
• Mitigation measures for reducing environmental pollution
• Conservation of natural energy resources
• Conservation of Biodiversity & Ecosystems
• Framing energy policy and management
Waste disposal, energy production and the minimization of pollution are the key problems to be addressed for the sustainable cities of the future. In world of finite resources and witnessing a population explosion, much effort is being made to change the way in which developed societies consume energy and materials and dispose-off waste. The course curriculum is designed to provide broader technical knowledge through theory classes supported by tutorials, laboratory experiments and field visits. The “Energy-Park” is also established to exhibit various equipment and appliances used for power generation from various renewable energy resources and to measure their environment impacts. Zero Energy house is the new addition in this energy park, in which the energy used will be only from renewable sources. This facility is under an MOU in between QUESTand Sarawak University, Malaysia. The engineers graduating from this new discipline are being employed by Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA), Oil and Gas Exploration companies, Oil Refineries, OHSE, Environment Protection Agency (EPA), PIA, Fertilizer Companies, Pakistan Railways, Heavy Mechanical Complex (HMC), Pakistan Ordnance Factories (POFs), Heavy Industries Taxila (HIT), and all other agencies working in Energy and Environment sectors of country as well as abroad.
