About Graduate Certificate of Engineering Science (GCNS) (Environmental Engineering), Graduate Diploma - at University of Southern Queensland

The objectives of the graduate certificate of engineering science are to: enable students, who hold appropriate three or four year engineering qualifications or equivalent in the relevant specialisation (major field), to complete a postgraduate program that will lead to an advanced theoretical and technical knowledge in an engineering discipline; and enable students who hold appropriate four year engineering qualifications or equivalent in a particular specialisation (major field) to change to another area of specialisation by completing a postgraduate program that will lead to advanced theoretical and technical knowledge in an engineering discipline. Through this four unit degree, students will study advanced level environmental engineering, empowering them to apply engineering solutions to environmental problems and the sustainable management of vital soil and water resources. When students complete their graduate certificate of engineering science they could take the credit from their studies and go on to complete the graduate diploma of engineering science. Students could even go on to complete the master of engineering science where they will have the opportunity to do a research project and dissertation to apply their formal knowledge to a real world issue. Environmental engineering at USQ provides students with the knowledge and skills to be an 'environmental problem-solver'. Students would work in water and wastewater treatment, river hydrology, soil conservation, irrigation, salinisation, drainage, mine site rehabilitation, environmental studies, water resources engineering, soil science, engineering problem solving and management. This degree provides a pathway to the master of engineering science which is provisionally accredited with engineers Australia for membership as a graduate professional engineer.
