Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Environmental) (pre 2017)
The University of Newcastle
About
Environmental engineers find sustainable solutions for complex environmental problems, including water pollution and soil erosion.
They plan, manage and operate engineered systems so that society can co-exist with the environment in a sustainable way.
They are experts in assessing whether the design and construction of a project will potentially damage the environment, and how this can be prevented.
