Overview

Intended learning outcomes

On the successful completion of the Master of Environmental Engineering (Water Systems) students will:

  • be able to develop advanced knowledge of the principles of environmental engineering underpinning sustainable development including systems thinking and critical thinking for environmental issues, including those related to water systems;
  • be able to develop research principles and methods in the field of environmental engineering, including those related to water systems;
  • be able to demonstrate mastery of theoretical knowledge and to reflect critically on theory and professional practice of environmental engineering, including those related to water systems;
  • be able to investigate, analyse and synthesise complex information, problems, concepts and theories and to apply established theories to different bodies of knowledge or practice in environmental engineering, including those related to water systems;
  • be able to model and evaluate complex ideas and concepts at an abstract level, especially those related to water systems;
  • be able to develop advanced knowledge in environmental planning, management, compliance and review, especially those related to water systems;
  • be able to justify and interpret theoretical propositions, methodologies, decisions; and to design, evaluate, implement, analyse developments that contribute to professional practice or scholarship in the field of environmental engineering related to water systems.
