- General Information
Energy and Environment Centre was established on 7 June 1998 with the objective of developing human resources in the field of energy and environment particularly for the member countries of the OIC, with special emphasis of the inter-relationship between the areas. Issues related to technology, society, policy and above all sustainability are needed to enhance energy consciousness and environmental responsibility.
The objectives of the centre are to continuously assess the training needs, prepare appropriate training and course materials, arrange short courses, workshops and seminars in cooperation with other OIC organs and bodies as well as relevant national, regional and international organizations, and develop facilities of international standard to meet the growing demands of the OIC Countries in the field of energy and environment.
With this aim, energy-related subjects are being offered in different semesters in the undergraduate courses of the Mechanical Engineering Department for specialization in the energy field. The centre also promotes energy and environment related researches in cooperation with other departments. Several Masters Theses on Renewable Energy have been completed in the Mechanical and Chemical Engineering Department. Also a Ph.D. research on “Value addition of activated carbon from rice husk” is going on in the MCE Department.
