Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Environmental)/Bachelor of Science

Students can undertake a five-year full-time double degree leading to the award of the degrees of Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and Bachelor of Science (BE (Hons) BSc).

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) provides you with a solid background in mathematics, natural sciences and computing to give you knowledge and skills in whichever specialisation you choose.

You will have the chance to apply yourself to engineering design and enquiry projects, professional engineering practice, and engineering and technical management, as well as conduct research towards your thesis project.

The Bachelor of Science degree allows you to study a wide range of science subjects. You are encouraged to choose a variety of courses in your first year, and later to choose from a broad selection of major options.

This gives you time to become more familiar with the different areas of science and to explore possible majors.

The School of Civil and Environmental Engineering offers a four year honours degree stream leading to a Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) in Environmental Engineering professionally accredited by Engineers Australia.

Environmental engineers are concerned with the environmental impact of engineering activities.

They apply their broad knowledge of engineering and environmental processes in identifying environmental problems and in developing effective solutions to them.

They also coordinate the activities of specialist groups such as biologists, ecologists and geologists within major projects.

The discipline of environmental engineering embraces parts of civil engineering, with emphasis on:

Management, systems design, water, geotechnical and transport engineering, together with aspects of chemical engineering, applied and biological sciences and environmental studies.

This stream can be taken on a four-year full-time basis or on a part-time basis subject to the approval of the Head of School. Intending part-time students are advised that all courses are offered only in the daytime.

Students must complete a minimum of 60 days of Industrial Training to graduate. Industrial Training must be undertaken concurrently with enrolment in the program.
