COURSE DESCRIPTION
Overview
UniSQ’s Environmental and Sustainable Resources Engineering major provides first-class knowledge and skills to study and change the effects of major environmental issues, as well as work in some of the most influential environmental sectors.
A significant proportion of your degree will involve project-based learning with industry connection and aligns with the United Nation’s sustainable development goals.
You’ll learn to plan, design and implement change in the infrastructure of land development and rehabilitation, water and soil management and create innovative solutions to complex problems.
Apply your knowledge through practical work experience and an exciting final year research project that will give you hands-on industry experience. Previous students have produced projects in the fields of an investigation into obtaining energy for abattoir wastewater, the revised field procedure for surface irrigation evaluation and the ranking of potential emissions reducing technologies for businesses.
Study when it suits you. We offer courses in three study periods (trimesters) throughout the year, online or on-campus, to allow you to progress at your own pace and balance work and family commitments.
Professional accreditation
When you graduate with your Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), you will be eligible to apply for membership with Engineers Australia as a graduate Professional Engineer. With the experience you will gain from working in the field, you may apply for chartered status as a Professional Engineer.

After two years of full-time study with UniSQ, you’ll be workplace-ready and gain an additional Associate Degree of Engineering qualification as an embedded award on your way towards your Professional Engineer status.
