Program Description

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 4776,
and also the fast track program BE/MEngSc plan CVENH13625

Program Structure

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 1

Choose ONE of:

MATH1131 Mathematics 1A (6 UOC)
MATH1141 Higher Mathematics 1A (6 UOC)

And ONE of:

MATH1231 Mathematics 1B (6 UOC)
MATH1241 Higher Mathematics 1B (6 UOC)

And ONE of:

PHYS1121 Physics 1A (6 UOC)
PHYS1131 Higher Physics 1A (6 UOC)

Plus these following 2 courses:

ENGG1000 Engineering Design (6 UOC)
ENGG1811 Computing for Engineers (6 UOC)

And ONE of

CHEM1011 Essentials of Chemistry 1A (6 UOC)
CHEM1031 Higher Chemistry 1A (6 UOC)

Plus Choose 2 electives from the Year 1 Elective List
http://www.eng.unsw.edu.au/rules/elective.htm

Suggested Year 1 electives for this program are:

CVEN1300 Engineering Mechanics (6 UOC)
CVEN1701 Environmental Principles (6 UOC)

COMP1911 is an acceptable alternative for ENGG1811
MINE1300 and MMAN1300 are acceptable alternatives for CVEN1300
Not all courses are offered in both sessions but students should complete 24 UOC in each session.
