Environmental Monitoring Technology

Course Overview

This degree program rests on CTGU’s long background in environmental sciences and engineering disciplines, with roots in hydrology, environmental monitoring and resource management shaped by its location near the Three Gorges Project area. Over the years, students have used a mix of theoretical and field training to understand how environmental data is gathered and used to support decision‑making in air, water and soil quality monitoring. Graduates have gone on to work in environmental protection bureaus, private consulting firms and research institutions, gaining experience in instrument operation, data reporting and compliance testing. The program’s foundation draws from CTGU’s emphasis on practical skills alongside scientific principles, supported by access to field sites and laboratory facilities. Its global community of students contributes to a varied campus environment, and connections with external research projects offer opportunities for hands‑on learning. Through ongoing improvement of its curriculum and engagement with environmental issues, the program impacts both students’ careers and local ecosystem understanding, giving participants tools to contribute to environmental stewardship locally and beyond.
