Overview / Course Aims
The Environmental Engineering course aims to provide students with broad based knowledge, training, skills and experience in areas required for practice in environmental engineering.
Career Opportunities
Graduates of this course will be able to work for industry, government agencies and engineering consultancies. The range of work that will lead to Sustainable Development include: integrated water cycle management; monitoring, analysis, modelling and design to control water, air, noise and soil pollution; recycling and re-use of water; renewable energy technologies, including solar, wind, wave and biomass; treatment and disposal of solid and hazardous waste; site remediation; onsite treatment systems; and cleaner production and industrial waste management.
Study Options
The degree can be combined with Civil or Mining Engineering in second year. Double degrees are also available.
