Within the broad scope of environmental engineering in Malaysia, areas earmarked for growth include water treatment, solid waste management (including industrial and hazardous waste management), and domestic and industrial waste water treatment.
Environmental engineers work to protect and manage natural resources, air, water and land. They are also highly sought after for areas such as environmental impact assessments, air pollution prevention and control, environmental monitoring/ management systems, environmental consultation, soil erosion prevention measures, noise monitoring/control, development of recycling systems and oil spill recovery.
First Year
The major has a common first year with all other engineering disciplines which builds a range of basic science skills and knowledge, with particular emphasis on physics, chemistry and mathematics.
Why Environmental Engineering?
- Our degree will equip you with an integrated knowledge of multiple engineering fields such as Chemical and Civil & Construction engineering in order to provide you with an innovative and creative engineering experience.
- Curtin’s bachelor of Environmental Engineering course is a good balance of theoretical background and practical experience throughout the four years of study.
- You will experience great employment prospects as the demand for environmental engineers is growing rapidly in both the domestic and international market.
