- Conduct appropriate experimentation, analyse and interpret data and use environmental engineering knowledge to draw conclusions.
- Work in a team effectively and with leadership, in a collaborative and inclusive environment, setting goals, planning tasks and meeting objectives.
- Recognise the ethical and professional responsibilities of environmental engineering and make informed judgements considering the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental and social contexts.
- Apply environmental engineering designs to produce solutions that meet specific needs addressing public health, safety and welfare taking account of global, cultural, social, environmental and economic factors.
- Identify, formulate and solve complex environmental engineering problems by applying engineering, scientific and mathematical principles.
- Students should demonstrate self-directed learning skills for continued academic growth.
- Students should apply acquired knowledge to solve problems in unfamiliar contexts within their field of study, including multidisciplinary scenarios.
- Students should be able to integrate knowledge and address the complexity of making informed judgments based on incomplete or limited information, including reflections on the social and ethical responsibilities associated with the application of their knowledge and judgments.
- Students should communicate conclusions and underlying knowledge clearly and unambiguously to both specialized and non-specialized audiences.
- Students should possess and understand foundational knowledge that enables original thinking and research in the field.
