Diploma in Engineering (Standard), Leading to Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Environmental Engineering INTO Group - UWA College, Australia

Diploma in Engineering

Your pathway to the second year of a Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) at The University of Western Australia (UWA).

Spend your first one or two trimesters building your academic and English language study skills, while improving your maths and physics knowledge. Then, in as little as five months, join first-year UWA engineering students in your final trimester as you study the same university subjects alongside them for a truly integrated experience.

Leading to: Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)

The Engineering program at UWA has been developed with industry to equip you with the skills to succeed in your future careers. The course is built upon three core principles: Relevance, Integration and Excellence. Engineering at UWA is relevant to the contemporary world of engineering, integrates knowledge, technical capability and practical skills to create exceptional graduates.

In this course, you’ll complement your course content with work integrated learning (450-hour practical), co-curricular activities (including engineering clubs such as UWA Young Engineers, UWA Motorsport and specialisation specific clubs) and professional skills development to become part of the community of UWA engineering graduates preferred by industry for your technical skills, professional integrity and ability to solve complex open-ended problems.

Major: Environmental Engineering

Make a positive impact to our world as an environmental engineer, applying your understanding of natural systems and technical engineering skills to find creative solutions to pressures facing our environment and sustainable development. In the Environmental Engineering major, you’ll gain a thorough understanding of the environmental challenges facing our world and how we can apply engineering practice to assess and manage the effects of human and other activity on the natural and built environment.

The growing need for environmental protection has created high demand for professional environmental engineers. You’ll gain detailed knowledge on environmental management and design, environmental risk assessment, ecological engineering and design, environmental modelling, oceanography, contaminant fate and transport, hydrology, environmental fluid mechanics and more. A strong emphasis is placed on developing strong analytical and research skills, in particular advanced numerical techniques.

Be guided by world leading academics specialising in oceanography, water engineering, waste management, sustainable engineering and site decontamination.
