New technologies and engineering solutions are required for global sustainable development. In the coming decades the world will face immense challenges in sustainably providing food, water, energy, materials, etc., for its rapidly growing and urbanising population while minimizing the impacts of waste and pollution. Nations like Australia will have to re-engineer aging and inappropriate infrastructure, industries and patterns of urbanisation. Our graduates will help build cleaner and sustainable industries, provide waste and pollution control, and guide improved resource management. The degree program is built on a solid core of Chemical and Civil Engineering courses (it is accredited by both the Institute of Engineers and the Institute of Chemical Engineers) with integrating courses in environmental risk assessment and management, cleaner production and sustainable development, environmental modelling and design. Many of our graduates have become today's leaders in environmental engineering, while others have established careers in the traditional chemical and civil engineering professions.
