RMIT's Bachelor of Engineering (Environmental Engineering) (Honours) offers students the chance to specialise 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 environmental studies, stuents will learn engineering concepts and technical skills to:
- preserve the environment
- minimise water, soil and air pollution
- assess the environmental impact of engineering projects
- develop remediation measures for environmental degradation
- deliver sustainable solutions through engineering processes.
Elective subjects such as the Humanitarian Experiential Learning Project will provide students with the opportunity to gain a global perspective of the world’s environmental challenges and the role environmental engineers can play in solving them.
Graduate from this degree 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.
Work integrated learning opportunities will provide students with real-world experiene and industry connections. They will have the opportunity to design creative solutions through inspiring and sustainable design and build projects, and take part in the Engineers Without Borders Challenge.
