BEng Environmental Engineering
About this course
BEng in Environmental Engineering, a chemical engineering degree centred on sustainable technical solutions for ecological and industrial challenges. Core topics include Programming, Systems Design, Microelectronics, Data Analysis, Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, Project Management, Environmental Analysis, and Engineering Design. The course is taught on the Penryn campus in Cornwall and incorporates field trips examining historical mining and mineral extraction. The first year establishes core competencies through modules such as Engineering Mathematics and Scientific Computing, Multi-Disciplinary Group Challenge Project, Fundamentals of Mechanics, Fundamentals of Materials, Fundamentals of Electronics, and Fundamentals of Engineering. The second year advances into specialized topics via Geographical Information Science and Systems, Remote Sensing for Environmental Management, Grand Geoenvironmental Challenges, Geotechnics, Data, Signals and Systems, Renewable Energy Systems 1, Fluid Mechanics, and Discipline Group Challenge Project. Students have the option to undertake a work placement to gain practical industry experience.
