Sustainability Engineering, Testamur Major (T129)

  • Western Sydney University Major Code: T129

Previous Code: MT3050.1

Available to students in other Western Sydney University programs?  No

Engineers are leaders in developing novel approaches to solving the biggest challenges faced by environmental and interrelated systems. In this Major, students assess the impact of industrial development then propose design solutions using holistic, futuristic and sustainable technologies and strategies. Through hands-on, real-life projects, students explore solutions that integrate technical, technological (IoT), social, cultural, geographical, regulatory and ethical factors particularly in relation to water, air and land. This major will benefit students aiming for careers such as Environmental Engineer/Scientist/Consultant, Natural Resources Manager, Waste Engineer/Manger/ Consultant, and Sustainability Engineer/ Manager/ Consultant. All students complete a mandatory industrial placement.

Bachelor of Engineering Science (3691)

Qualification for this award requires the successful completion of 240 credit points, which include the subjects listed in the recommended sequence below.

* All students undertaking the Bachelor of Engineering Science are required to enrol in MATH 1021 Mathematics for Engineers Preliminary and undertake a readiness test at the beginning of their study.

The readiness test will be conducted at the beginning of the first semester of enrolment and the result will be used to determine whether a student will remain in MATH 1021 Mathematics for Engineers Preliminary or be transferred by the School to MATH 1016 Mathematics for Engineers 1.

Students remaining in MATH 1021 Mathematics for Engineers Preliminary will be required to complete MATH 1016 Mathematics for Engineers 1 during second semester and will be encouraged to complete MATH 1019 Mathematics for Engineers 2 during the Summer session.

Students who finish MATH 1021 Mathematics for Engineers Preliminary will then use this subject as an elective.
