COURSE DESCRIPTION
Course summary
The key priority for Environmental engineers is a concern for the environment and how it interacts with people and projects. Their work involves developing engineering solutions to environmental problems that impact our land, water and air quality, with an aim for sustainable development.
Environmental engineering embraces broad environmental concerns, including water quality and supply, groundwater protection and remediation, wastewater treatment, indoor and outdoor air pollution, solid and hazardous waste disposal, supply of safe drinking water, cleaning contaminated sites, preserving sensitive wetlands, and prevention of pollution through product and process design.
Environmental engineers balance competing technical, social and legal issues concerning the use of environmental resources.
This degree
You will study a common first year allowing you to learn more about engineering and its different fields before deciding which discipline to study. The common first year provides you with sound fundamentals in mathematics, statistics, physics, chemistry, computing, engineering science and communication, mechanics, materials and fluids. You then focus on your chosen major study from second year. Your degree includes a 12-week hands-on industry placement. You may gain credit for relevant work experience, either in Australia or overseas, by participating in our Professional Options Program.
Engineers work in a variety of industries, for example: construction, mining, resources, aeronautical, electronics, engineering management, telecommunications, power generation and distribution, renewable energy, aerospace, water resource management, robotics and manufacturing, railroad and shipbuilding.
What you will study
As an engineering student at UOW you will have access to fully-equipped laboratories and the latest computer-aided software that is used in modern industrial workplaces. Our lecturers encourage you to approach them and get involved in industry projects and learning opportunities so you get the most out of your university education.
Our engineering students are trained through practical learning experiences including:
Laboratory experiments
Problem based learning
Computer simulations
Teamwork assignments
Industrial case studies
Project management
Site visits to industry
From second year you also have the option to complete a double major, combining two engineering disciplines. Available double major combinations include:
Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering
Mining Engineering and Environmental Engineering
In your third and fourth year of the major you will branch into more specialised areas including: water quality engineering, air and noise pollution control, solid and hazardous waste management, environmental engineering design, and site remediation.
