COURSE DESCRIPTION
Want to design solutions to some of the planet’s most challenging problems?
As populations expand and humanity demands more of our natural resources, environmental engineers are at the forefront of developing solutions that increase the sustainability of human activities. They tackle climate change, enable the renewable energy transition, secure our water supplies, protect society from natural hazards, and redesign products to reduce waste.
What will you do?
Our Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)(Environmental and Climate Solutions) will challenge and nurture you in a team environment. You will: develop skills to tackle climate change and other major environmental challenges around water, energy, food, pollution, waste, and natural hazards; learn about connections between infrastructure, environment, society, and economy in the developed and developing world; work with award-winning academics who are global experts in their field; apply your knowledge to real-world projects based on industry needs; complete an eight-week practical experience and participate in field trips.
Majors are available in: Climate solutions; Renewable energy; Smart technologies.
Where could it take you?
As an accredited engineer, you could enable the renewable energy transition, design water reuse schemes for cities or agricultural districts, increase society’s resilience to natural hazards, or design recycling schemes. You might set up your own start-up company that manufactures sustainable products, or work to eliminate poverty in Southeast Asia. Perhaps you’ll work for the United Nations, or for a bank or insurance company to assess the climate risk on major infrastructure projects.
Career Readiness
With global concern about water resources, energy, food, pollution, waste, natural hazards, and climate change on the rise —and the development of new industries focused on developing sustainable solutions—the employment outlook for environmental engineers is excellent.
