Landscape Architecture Engineering solves real-life problems. This discipline finds the best solutions through the application of knowledge,experience and skills. Engineers help to define and refine the way of life by providing innovative, high-performance, safer, cleaner or morecomfortable daily-used facilities for human beings. They seek improvements through the processes of invention, design, manufacturing andconstruction.

The products of Landscape Architecture engineering activities are intended to be sustainable. However, the drawbacks are associated with such activities; for example, the water, air, the environment and acoustic pollutions have been aggravated by many engineering marvels created throughout the past decades.

The engineer’s problem-solving complexity grows as the world’s social and technological problems become more closely related. For example, the problem of air pollution cannot be solved physically without considering the social, legal, political, and ethical conflicts. Moreover, the impact of the available engineering solutions on the interests of the individuals and groups should be considered. Engineering studies provide students with the advanced, effective, technology-based education that should meet the expected needs of future science and technology. They should also promote the technical understanding and problem-solving skills required to face the engineering challenges of tomorrow.

Moreover, it motivates students, faculty and staff to learn, grow, achieve and serve the needs of society nationally, regionally and internationally. It also prepares students for a productive and rewarding career in engineering based on strong moral and ethical foundation.
