Few other branches of engineering have such a profound impact on our health and quality of life as environmental engineering does. Environmental engineering is about creating sustainable solutions to environmental problems. It involves the implementation and management of engineering solutions and programs that are in harmony with the principles of sustainable development.
For full details of the course structure and units studied visit the University handbook entry for this course (link below).
The increasing population and improving living standards continue to provide many local and international employment opportunities in government organisations, consultancies and contracting firms, research and development organisations, and education and technology transfer.
Environmental engineers also work for large manufacturers, universities and the CSIRO in interdisciplinary teams to manage environmental problems through the application of scientific, engineering and interpersonal skills.

Equivalent Australian Year 12.
TAFE
Pathway exists between the Diploma of Built Environment at Holmesglen and Monash's Bachelor of Technology (Infrastructure- Design, Construction and Management). Students who complete one year of thisTAFE course or equivalent can apply to enter the second year of the three-year technology degree.
University
Monash offers three single units in the areas of mathematics, chemistry and physics that provide a suitable preparation for engineering courses:
ENG1070 Foundation Chemistry
ENG1080 Foundation Physics
ENG1090 Foundation Mathematics
(this unit assumes knowledge equivalent to VCE Mathematical Methods).
These units are similar in content to the VCE units of Chemistry, Physics and Specialist Mathematics or their equivalents. Students undertaking similar units through other institutions should ensure their studies also satisfy the course prerequisites.
Background studies
Because of its specific prerequisite requirements in the areas of English, mathematics and at least one of chemistry or physics, the faculty believes that VCE provides the most suitable preparation for all applicants. However, it recognises the other pathways outlined here.
Units 3 and 4 a study score of at least 30 in English (ESL) or 25 in any other English and a study score of at least 20 in mathematical methods (either) and in one of chemistry or physics.
English, Mathematics (SL or HL) or Further Mathematics and one of Chemistry or Physics at a minimum of grade four at standard level.
Minimum entrance requirements for admission to Monash University Australia.
