Master of Engineering - Environmental Engineering (MR219) (079821K)

The School of Engineering’s emphasis is on sustainable development and encompasses a broad spectrum of environmental impacts and degradation. Research activity is focused on identifying solutions to existing and emerging problems in these areas. Most of these problems result from human impact and solving them draws on techniques such as life cycle analysis, cleaner production, and eco-efficiency to develop sustainable solutions.

Students can select from existing applied research projects that are well supported by industry. These projects will deliver fundamental research leading to innovative new products, processes and knowledge.

Students will be closely supervised while they work on a project within one of the following research areas: • adaptation to climate change • air pollution • environmental planning and policy • groundwater resource management • land contamination and remediation • land degradation • management of waste • sludge management • wastewater treatment and recycling • water systems engineering and water resources
