What this paper is about

Edit What this paper is about Content

Environmental engineering encompasses air, water, wastewater, solid waste, hazardous waste, noise and contaminated land issues. Environmental engineers investigate, measure and evaluate environmental problems. Environmental engineers assess options, select the best approach and design and implement the solution such as water treatment facilities, landfill, waste recycling and air pollution control.

This paper covers skills, knowledge and capability for environmental engineers so they can understand, investigate and evaluate environmental engineering problems and solutions. The purpose of this paper is to furnish environmental engineers with the skills, knowledge and understanding of the range of environmental issues covering air, water, wastewater, storm water, waste, soil and noise. This paper is needed to deliver the skills, technical and process capabilities expected of an environmental engineer to be able to investigate, understand and evaluate environmental problems and potential solutions.

The learning outcomes for this paper are linked to Washington Accord graduate attributes WA1-WA11. Explanation of the graduate attributes can be found at: https://www.ieagreements.org/

How you will be assessed

Edit How you will be assessed Content

Assessment information such as marking schedules, report layouts and so on will be provided with course handouts and lab manuals.

Samples of your work may be required as part of the Engineering New Zealand accreditation process for BE(Hons) degrees. Any samples taken will have the student name and ID redacted. If you do not want samples of your work collected then please email the engineering administrator, Natalie Shaw (natalie.shaw@waikato.ac.nz), to opt out.

Edit How you will be assessed Content

The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 60:40. There is no final exam. The final exam makes up 40% of the overall mark.

The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 60:40 or 0:0, whichever is more favourable for the student. The final exam makes up either 40% or 0% of the overall mark.
