Bachelor of Engineering - Environmental Engineering (Honours) (BH080) (079627A)

The Environmental Engineering program offers students the chance to specialize in engineering fields critical to solving the world’s environmental challenges. Land contamination and rehabilitation, energy, hydrogeology, wastewater treatment, and sustainable cities are strong focus areas.

During students' environmental studies, they will learn engineering concepts and technical skills to:

Elective subjects such as the China Environmental Challenges Study Tour or the Sustainable Cities for the Future France Study Tour will provide students with the opportunity to gain a global perspective of the world’s environmental challenges and the role engineers can play in solving them.

Students will graduate with the skills and knowledge to conserve water resources, supply safe drinking water in challenging contexts, undertake rehabilitation of contaminated land and groundwater, design systems to sustainably manage wastes and reduce the environmental footprint in urban and rural communities and prepare environmental impact studies for major infrastructure projects.

Students will also have the opportunity to design creative solutions through inspiring and sustainable design and build projects, as well as taking part in the Engineers Without Borders Challenge - a humanitarian-focused course offered in all the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology engineering degrees.
