The ability to understand and manage the environmental impacts arising from the design and implementation of engineering systems is critical for environmental engineers. This course introduces several critical concepts and tools, including Life Cycle Analyses (LCA), Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) methods and the ISO14001 Environmental Management System (EMS) framework. The course then provides an introduction for Engineers on environmental law in Australia, focusing on planning law, and pollution laws. Social, ethical, and political considerations are also covered. The course project provides an opportunity for students to apply and practice these skills and techniques on realistic scenarios. This course will provide an important focus on indigenous perspectives and contributions to this field of study. Students will be able to draw on course materials that provide diverse gender, cultural, and geographical perspectives on these topics.
