Level 3 and 4
From level 3, the course is divided into three streams: 1. Environmental process engineering; 2. Water and land management; 3. Transport and the built environment. The student must choose either one major or two minor elective streams, taking core subjects at each level as well as stream core and stream elective subjects from their chosen stream(s). Stream electives subjects are divided into two groups, A and B. One major stream comprises a minimum of 20 credit points from group A and a minimum of 8 credit points from group B (total 32 credit points); two minor streams comprise 12 credit points from group A and 4 credit points from group B in each of two elective streams (total 32 credit points). Students' choice of electives must be approved by the Environmental Engineering Executive Committee.
