||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Program Summary
Environmental engineers are concerned with the environmental impact of engineering activities. They apply their broad knowledge of engineering and environmental processes in identifying environmental problems and in developing effective solutions to them. They also coordinate the activities of specialist groups such as biologists, ecologists and geologists within major projects. The discipline of environmental engineering embraces parts of civil engineering, with emphasis on management, systems design, water, geotechnical and transport engineering, together with aspects of chemical engineering, applied and biological sciences and environmental studies.
Note: Environmental Engineering is also available as a component of the combined degree programs
BE (Civil Eng)/BE (Env Eng) program 3631, BE (Env Eng)/BA program 3626, BE (Env Eng)/BSc program3735, BE(Env Eng)/BCom program3715, BE (Env Eng)/LLB (Law) program 4777, and also the fast track program BE/MEngSc plan CVENH13625 For details of all academic requirements for this program, see http://www.eng.unsw.edu.au/rules/ Program Objectives and Learning Outcomes Please see http://www.eng.unsw.edu.au/rules/
The program structure below gives one sequence of courses that fulfils the requirements of the degree. The timing of the general education courses and elective courses may be modified to optimize the student's choice of courses. Suggestions for other course sequences consistent with timetabling and availability can be found on the School website at http://www.civeng.unsw.edu.au While some courses are given twice a year, many courses are given only once a year and students should plan their enrolments appropriately.

Year 4 Session 1 Students achieving a School weighted average mark exceeding 62 (calculated from all subjects in years 1 to 3 of the BE Program) are eligible to undertake an Honours thesis in Year 4 (CVEN4000 in S1 and CVEN4001 in S2). Plus TWO of the following four electives:
Session 2
All students not undertaking the honours thesis are required to select two majors. Students undertaking the honours thesis are required to undertake one major plus at least 8 units of credit of electives taken from one other discipline area. To complete a major, all three 4 units of credit elective courses (listed for each discipline below) must be undertaken.
Geotechnical Engineering Major
Plus ONE of the following two electives:

The School offers a range of specialist plans in the Environmental Engineering program which are avilable to high achieving students. Basically students complete most of the requirements of the standard plan CVENBS3625 with specialist replacements for some courses in Years 2, 3 and especially Year 4 of the program. Students achieving a School weighted average mark of less than 65 (calculated from all courses in Years 1 to 3 of the BE program) are inelibible to continue in the plan and must transfer into and complete the standard Year 4 of the academic plan CVENB13625.
