This minor develops the knowledge and practical skills needed to design infrastructure that is sustainable, climate-resilient, and smart. Students engage in real-world projects and integrated system analysis to explore the planning and development of liveable cities, green buildings, blue-green spaces, and sustainable transport networks. The minor covers sustainability analysis, climate-smart engineering approaches, renewable energy system design, sustainable water supply and wastewater treatment, and circular economy principles in waste management. Emphasis is placed on emerging technologies, environmental and social responsibility, and practical design solutions for both urban and rural contexts. Graduates will be equipped to tackle contemporary engineering challenges and contribute to global sustainability goals through innovative, future-focused engineering solutions. After successful completion of this minor, graduates will be able to apply the principles of sustainability analysis and design in their own engineering specialisation area.
