Description of the Programme
The aim of the Water & Environmental Engineering degree programme is to produce specialized engineers combining technical and biological skills to address issues in agro-industrial development and resultant environmental problems. With the rapid growth in the human population, there has been an expansion in food production causing environmental degradation of varying magnitudes. To mitigate these and sustain agricultural and industrial production systems, soil, water and environmental engineers develop engineering solutions to problems that impact our land, water and air quality, with an aim towards sustainable development. The programme embraces broad agro-industrial development and environmental concerns including wastewater treatment; water quality and supply; groundwater protection and remediation; solid and hazardous waste disposal; indoor and outdoor air pollution; supply of safe drinking water; preserving sensitive wetlands; cleaning contaminated sites; prevention of pollution through product and process design; etc.
Areas of specialization
In your third and fourth year of study, will branch into more specialised areas including:
- Water quality engineering
- Environmental engineering design
- Solid and hazardous waste management
- Air and noise pollution control
- Site remediation
