Master of Engineering (Environmental Engineering)

The University of Wollongong Master of Engineering (Environmental) provides graduate and science engineers with a two-year degree program with specialized knowledge and technical skills in environmental engineering and advanced science. The program focuses on environmental technology and management of areas of importance in water supply, wastewater management, cleaner production and waste management, site repair, air and noise pollution control, sustainable energy services. You will develop the ability to design, model and analyze engineering solutions related to environmental protection leading to sustainable development. It will also develop the capacity to assess environmental risk and manage the environmental aspects of various industries.

Environmental engineering affects pure technology research that has as little or no effect on the environment as possible. An environmental engineer participates in research and development of alternative energy sources, recycling water, treating waste, and recycling. Environmental engineering has also focused on protecting public health, thus contributing to sustainable development. The sub-fields of environmental engineering include: geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, transportation engineering. As a broad field of study, environmental engineering is related to alternatives, and, such as: chemistry, biology, mathematics, technology, geography, social and economic safety.

Students applying to the University of Wollongong Australia, Master’s degree in environmental engineering must be able to evaluate the effectiveness of the engineering program and install new materials or develop new technologies to strengthen environmental protection. Students in environmental engineering will learn how to collect, construct and evaluate environmental impact data, using logic and reasoning to discover the strengths and weaknesses of other solutions. Graduates of the environmental engineering program can find jobs in industries such as: chemical industry, waste management, petroleum production, energy, manufacturing or government departments and labor organizations. They can choose from the following career options: environmental engineer, air quality specialist, environmental scientist, environmental researcher, engineering specialist, environmental marketing engineer.
