Overview
Overview
Environmental Engineering applies science and technology principles to protect people from adverse environmental impacts, improve environmental quality and conserve natural resources. It involves the design of water supply management, wastewater treatment, solid waste management, air pollution control and land remediation. Environmental engineering practice requires a strong background in engineering mathematics, chemistry, fluid mechanics and environmental science. In addition, students learn geotechnical principles, process principles, energy management, and life-cycle assessment to develop solutions for environmental engineering problems. In the final year, the environmental engineering students build their research skills in the research project and employ their problem-solving skills with the design projects. Alongside, students in this double degree take a science major in Environmental Science, focusing on environmental systems and their function, along with training in core industry focused skills such as GIS and remote sensing, environmental policy and restoration. Students have access to a broad range of option units to build an environmental science pathway tailored to their interests.
