Environmental Engineering

Aims

The aim of the program is to develop a thorough understanding of the causes of pollution and the preventative actions available to minimise its impacts.

The course will develop an excellent knowledge of Environmental Engineering and Technology as well as provide a strong multi-disciplinary understanding of Civil Engineering, Automation Measurement Systems and Environmental Management. Specialisation studies are focused on Renewable Energy Engineering and Environmental Construction Engineering. As an Environmental Engineer you will have responsibility for overall management of environmental issues, with the skills to operate and communicate internationally.

Subjects

The basic subjects of the Environmental Engineering programme mainly consists of natural sciences and introductory engineering. After the basic studies you also understand the importance of international communication, business and cultural skills. Professional subjects focus on the prevention and control of environmental problems.

The main professional subjects are focused on the following areas:

• Environmental Technology
• Pollution Monitoring and Data Transferring
• Environmental Safety Management

Specialisation areas are:

• Renewable Energy Technology
• Water, waste and Environmental Engineering

Career Prospects

Multi-disciplinary engineering subjects, projects, industry-based training and a final year thesis will develop the engineering skills required to address environmental issues from the technology perspective. In addition to giving a comprehensive overview of environmental issues and providing the skills necessary to protect and restore the environment, the studies will offer effective engineering tools to design, develop and manage environmental solutions.

A range of career paths are available for Environmental Engineers and work opportunities exist in various areas of the field, such as Design Engineering, Environmental Management, Quality Engineering, Process Engineering, and Environmental Consulting as well as providing environmental expertise in other areas.
