Program Description
The School of Civil and Environmental Engineering offers a four year degree program (192 UOC) leading to a Bachelor of Engineering (BE) in Environmental Engineering professionally accredited by Engineers Australia. Flexibility and choice are maintained throughout the entire structure by providing many elective courses.
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.
This program can be taken on a four-year full-time basis or on a part-time basis subject to the approval of the Head of School. Intending part-time students are advised that all courses are offered only in the daytime.
