Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Environmental Engineering)

Environmental Engineers are professionals who deal with the sustainable management of the environment. The key priority for environmental engineers is to understand the natural processes and then plan, design, construct and operate products, processes and systems that can lead to ecologically sustainable development. After a first year of science, maths and general engineering there is an increased focus on the traditional areas of environmental engineering. The later years branch into areas including: water quality and ecological engineering, water resources engineering, air and noise pollution control, solid and hazardous waste management, environmental engineering design for sustainability, pollution control and cleaner production, sustainable energy technologies and site remediation.

The degree can be combined with Civil or Mining Engineering in second year. Double degrees are also available.
