The Faculty history dates back to the 19th century when the Unit of Agricultural Engineering was formed as a part of the Study of Agronomy operating at the Faculty of Philosophy, the Jagiellonian University in Krakow. The Unit of Agricultural Engineering later became a part of the Faculty of Agriculture formed at the newly established independent Higher Agricultural College in 1953. Two years later, in 1955 it provided a basis for the Faculty of Land Reclamation where five years later a Division of Land Surveying was formed. In 1992, following a re-organisation of the Faculty structure its name was changed into the Faculty of Environmental Engineering and Land Surveying.
