Description

Special Topic

Special Topic:   Environmental Engineering Design Project
(Offered in parallel with the course ENVENG705 at the University of Auckland led by Naresh Singhal)

The design project in Environmental Engineering will showcase the student's broad knowledge of the varied aspects of environmental science and engineering through a Preliminary Design and Report for an engineering project. Student teams will undertake a level of preliminary investigation performed before the detailed design. At the end of the course, each team will deliver a professional quality preliminary design report and support this with an oral presentation and interview. Individuals in each group of 3-4 students will undertake complementary but distinct activities to cover site assessment, sampling and laboratory analysis, modelling, impact assessment, cost analysis, iwi interests, and regulatory aspects. Each team will act as a group of consulting engineers undertaking an open-ended preliminary investigation and design with the assistance of technical specialist advisors and a staff member as your nominal client.

Learning Outcomes

Upon completion, the student should be able to:
1. Apply environmental engineering concepts to a previously unstudied application.
2. Perform environmental engineering calculations at a level expected in practice.
3. Produce outputs to expected standards of professionalism and client focus.
4. Work effectively within a diverse team.

Prerequisites

Subject to approval of the Head of Department.
