Bachelor of Environmental and Sustainability Engineering (Honours) (S000096)

Become a highly skilled graduate ready to tackle global environmental issues such as climate change, sustainability and pollution when students study the Bachelor of Environmental Engineering (Honours) at Deakin University. Gain knowledge across environmental engineering industry areas including waste management, water engineering, catchment management and soil and water remediation. Develop solutions-led technical and professional skills to put students in high demand in this future-focused field.

Environmental engineers address global issues such as climate change, sustainability, waste disposal, water security, utility distribution, pollution and more. Graduates are highly sought after in government and private sectors to provide innovative solutions to these environmental challenges. Students will be equipped to assess project impacts on air, water and soil, and to design strategies that minimize adverse effects.

This course equips students with the skills and knowledge to develop sustainable engineering solutions through project-oriented design-based learning and lab-based practical classes.

Students will gain in-depth knowledge across a range of environmental engineering disciplines related to environmental health, water, air and soil quality, water resource management and waste management. This is underpinned by the fundamentals of environmental engineering and the natural and physical sciences, including geography, chemistry, mathematics, environmental science, ecology and hydrology.

By undertaking authentic engineering projects using project-oriented design-based learning (PODBL) in collaboration with industry, students will have the chance to apply scientific and engineering principles to develop innovative, ethical solutions to real-world environmental problems. This type of project-based learning ensures students will gain the practical expertise – as well as the communication, teamwork and project management skills – to graduate job ready for future roles across industry, government or the humanitarian sector.
