Civil and Environmental Engineering programme at University of AberdeenÊfollows a similar structure to the straightÊMEng Civil EngineeringÊdegree. The major difference is the compulsory requirement to study the Environmental Engineering course in year 4. This particular course deals with various aspects related to:
- surface water: sources of water pollution and their impact on aqueous environment and public health, water quality and supply, wastewater treatment;
- soil and groundwater: groundwater flow, groundwater contamination and pollution, subsurface contaminants transport mechanisms, sustainable land-groundwater management;
- solid waste: sources of solid waste, characterisation and treatment of solid waste, solid waste management;
- air pollution and control: air pollutants and sources, air pollution meteorology, pollutant dispersion in the air, air pollution control.
Students will develop a greater understanding of the environmental challenges and considerations required as part of major civil engineering projects, how to manage these challenges and implement effective solutions.
