Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering

August 29, 20263 min read

Programme Description

The programme is structured in such a way that in the first two years, the concentration is on foundation courses in basic engineering science, Mathematics, computer and technical communications; and in the last two years, the concentration is on core environmental engineering courses as well as environmental engineering practice. The last semesters, i.e. final year, involves a final year project with two parts. The first part is in the first semester and the second is in the second semester. In their project assignments, students are at this point expected to demonstrate independent and critical thinking and propose relevant engineering solutions to environmental engineering problems. The degree award is classified based on the completion of 490 credits from core courses and 15 credits from elective courses in 8 semesters. Practical Training (PT) is also regarded as an integral part of this programme, as it is used to consolidate students’ theoretical understanding of concepts in the field. At the end of each second semester (from the first, second and third 45 years), an eight-week practical training is taken to expose students to real life situations in the field.

Learning Outcomes

  • Develop solutions to environmental problems, pollution control and overall environmental management.
  • Show an appreciation of practical aspects of the environmental engineering profession.
  • Conduct relevant research and pursue further studies at higher levels.
