Engineering (Environmental Engineering), Bachelor (Hons)

RMIT's Bachelor of Engineering (Environmental Engineering) (Honours) offers you 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 your environmental studies, you’ll 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 you with the opportunity to gain a global perspective on 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 you with real-world experience and industry connections. You’ll have the opportunity to design creative solutions through inspiring and sustainable design and build projects, and take part in the Engineers Without Borders Challenge.
