Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities

Design courses in earlier years in old program. New program is developing


Course Description

This project-based course aims to enhance in students the independence to seek out relevant information regarding an issue or problem, use their analytical skills to arrive at solutions and to provide students wiwth a context of operation in preparation for their future working environment.
The objective is to motivate students to develop and demonstrate their ability for resourcefulness and independent work in the complex area of Environmental Engineering.
The course consists of two components – investigation and design.
