C04272v2 Master of Environmental Engineering Management
University of Technology Sydney
About
This course is designed to enable engineers and other technical specialists to take a leadership role in the field of environmental engineering and management.
The course deals with the broad aspects of environmental management relevant to practising professionals in engineering science, planning, architecture, law, surveying, health and building.
Engineers, scientists, town planners and other professionals working in this field have a compelling duty to ensure that the adverse effects of development on the total environment are minimised.The duration of the course is one-and-a-half years;
however, applicants with a recognised bachelor's degree in engineering or the natural and physical sciences are eligible for recognition of prior learning of up to four subjects and are thus able to complete the course in one year on a full-time basis.The course combines a set of key subjects that contain information on the nature of environmental problems together with engineering techniques for their solution.
This is supplemented by management and policy subjects to empower the engineer, or technical specialist, to lead multidisciplinary teams working in the field of environmental engineering and management.The course follows an integrated approach to professional practice through professional engineering subjects, subjects relating to environmental engineering management, an independent project, and a set of electives.
Structure
Candidates complete coursework subjects and an independent engineering graduate project totalling 72 credit points. The project component consists of a preparatory subject and a project which must be undertaken in successive sessions, typically the final two sessions of the course.
Elective subjects are to be chosen from postgraduate subjects offered within the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology; some subjects may require prior approval based on access conditions.
