In the Bachelor of Engineering (Sustainable Systems Engineering) (Honours), students will learn how to protect, restore and create engineered and natural systems that are socially, environmentally, and economically sustainable. Climate change is a matter of national and international importance. Demand has arisen for engineers able to conceive and develop sustainable systems. The consumption of natural resources and energy in areas such as transport, buildings, manufacturing processes, are part of this need.
Sustainable systems engineering brings together the new technologies and innovative engineering approaches needed for sustainable global development. As part of this degree students will undertake a broad range of studies, graduating with the skills to design engineering solutions that meet the needs of society within economic and ecological constraints.
Students' studies will focus on developing a sustainable systems approach, combining the fundamentals of engineering sciences, mathematics and engineering design. Degree specialisations exist in energy, transport and logistics, and materials.
