As populations expand and humanity demands more of our natural resources, environmental engineers are at the forefront of developing solutions that increase the sustainability of human activities. They tackle climate change, enable the renewable energy transition, secure our water supplies, protect society from natural hazards, and redesign products to reduce waste.
Our Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)(Environmental and Climate Solutions) will challenge and nurture you in a team environment. You will:
develop skills to tackle climate change and other major environmental challenges around water, energy, food, pollution, waste, and natural hazards
learn about connections between infrastructure, environment, society, and economy in the developed and developing world
work with award-winning academics who are global experts in their field
apply your knowledge to real-world projects based on industry needs
complete an eight-week practical experience and participate in field trips.
As populations expand and increase demand on our natural resources, solutions for climate challenges are critical to ensuring humanity's sustainability.
In this major, you'll study courses related to environmental and climate resilience, renewable energy systems, urban water systems, and natural hazard risks. You'll also get first-hand experience with climate solutions experts in South Australia, and work on a real-world project during your final honours year.
Graduates in this area will be equipped as engineers for the 21st century, ready to apply their expertise in a wide range of change-making careers - from water and food security, reducing pollution and natural hazard risk, renewable energy transition, and circular economy development, to climate adaptation and resilience.
