Environmental Engineering ENG437
Introduction
The units overlays a formal environmental engineering framework to environmental and sustainability topics and shows how the traditional design process can be extended to include these issues. The aim is for students to develop the necessary knowledge and skills to identify potential environmental risks and opportunities associated with projects, undertake the basic design of environmental engineering solutions, and evaluate their effectiveness. This unit covers principal environmental engineering design areas, including air quality, geo-environmental, solid waste management, water supply, water and wastewater treatment, and resource recovery.

Note
Please check that your computer meets the minimum System Requirements if you are attending via Distance/Off-Campus.
Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.

Unit census dates currently displaying for 2023 are indicative and subject to change. Finalised census dates for 2023 will be available from the 1st October 2022. Note census date cutoff is 11.59pm AEST (AEDT during October to March).
Learning Outcomes
- Identify environmental risks associated with engineering projects in order to propose mitigation measures.
- Design elements of geo-environmental, water supply, wastewater treatment, and air pollution control systems with a focus on system suitability, feasibility, and sustainability.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of Environmental Engineering solutions in the context of design, sustainability, monitoring, control and remediation.
