Environmental Engineering and Disaster Manager

The natural disasters in the year 2022 had widespread impacts on nearly half a million households across 59 provinces in Thailand. These events resulted in damages that were difficult to evaluate across various dimensions. This incident is just one example of the numerous consequences arising from the occurrence of disasters, whether they are natural disasters such as floods, droughts, and wildfires, happening seasonally or spontaneously. There are also human-made disasters like explosions and chemical leaks. Each disaster occurrence causes harm to life, property, environment, and affects the stability of the overall economy of the country significantly.

Addressing or managing these disasters falls under the responsibility of various organizations. However, they often prioritize addressing specific aspects of the problem rather than looking at the problem comprehensively in the long term. The lack of personnel with the knowledge and understanding of managing such complex problems is a major factor that hinders the effectiveness and sustainability of disaster management

Over the past several years, Mahidol University has emphasized the production of ‘Environmental Engineering and Disaster Manager’, a profession that is currently in high demand but still faces shortages, insufficiently meeting the needs for effective disaster management nationwide.

Through the program ‘Environmental Engineering and Disaster Management,’ which employs a learner-centric approach to stimulate students to create, enhance knowledge, abilities, and develop new skills on their own. The goal is to produce graduates capable of applying knowledge to the engineering profession, specifically in the field of Environmental Engineering, following professional standards in planning, managing, controlling, mitigating, reducing, and solving complex environmental problems caused by both human activities and natural disasters. This aims to minimize the impacts on humans, the environment, and properties.

Our students receive integrated knowledge in disaster management, encompassing engineering, social sciences, and the utilization of big data management. Through computer programs, they conduct comprehensive analyses and make informed decisions. This equips them, as engineers, to meet the needs and align with the context of communities and society effectively.

Prepares Thais and the country to effectively and sustainably address Thailand’s multifaceted disaster challenges

The support from Mahidol University Endowment Fund is another force driving the ‘creation’ of a new generation of professionals through scholarship grants in specific fields where there is a shortage. For example, in the program of Environmental Engineering and Disaster Management, this prepares Thais and the country to effectively and sustainably address Thailand’s multifaceted disaster challenges.
