Bachelor of Environmental Engineering / Bachelor of Science for 2010

Print version

Course overview

The environment is one of the most significant challenges facing all nations today. This course has been developed in response to the changes re-shaping modern society such as climate change and global warming and the demand for emerging technologies with an emphasis on renewable energy, sustainability and innovative nanotechnologies. The growing interaction of environmental engineering and science is an important, emerging area and this program addresses a worldwide need for specialist skills in both disciplines.

Science is concerned with the study of fundamental physical processes while engineering is primarily concerned with the application of scientific principles to technology. The science and environmental engineering combination will enable students to learn about the practical application of fundamental knowledge, and develop a deeper understanding of engineering.

The course will have a significant engineering and scientific emphasis on managing and sustaining the environment, with relevance to Australia as well as embracing themes and problems relevant internationally. The improvement of the human condition is implicit in this course.
