Ecological Engineering is the design of sustainable systems that derive their energy and materials from natural and engineered ecosystems. These designs aim to integrate human society with the natural environment for the benefit of both. Applications include engineered wetlands, water sensitive urban design, waterway and habitat restoration, and integrated food-energy-water biosystems. Relevant tools include environmental management and models of material mass flow and life cycle assessment.
To advance systems thinking in engineering problem-solving To deepen students understanding of ecological engineering principles and knowledge base To explore how engineering solutions can be applied to a wide variety of environmental challenges in both New Zealand and international contexts. Examples include waterway and habitat restoration, wastewater treatment, and the food-energy-water nexus. For students to experience a variety of projects at various stages of the engineering process, including research studies, conceptual and detailed design development, pilot-scale studies and fully implemented projects To help prepare students for the research process by undertaking critical analysis of journalarticles that are related to Ecological Engineering applications.

1. You cannot pass this course unless you achieve a mark of at least 40% in each of the mid-semester test and the final exam. A student who narrowly fails to achieve 40% in either the test or exam, but who performs very well in the other, may be eligible for a pass.2. All assignments must be submitted by the due date via Learn electronically AND a printed copy to the box designated for this course on Level 2. Late submissions will not be accepted. If a student is unable to complete and submit an assignment by the deadline due to personal circumstances beyond their control they should discuss this with the lecturer involved as soon as possible.
Recommended reading will be provided electronically by the academic teaching the topic.
