Overview

The BEng in Civil and Environmental Engineering provides broad engineering training with an emphasis on areas such as drinking water and wastewater treatment, waste-to-energy/resource technologies, carbon emissions and decarbonization strategies, green and renewable energy, low-carbon circular economy, sustainable land remediation and hazardous waste management, and air/noise pollution control. As environmental health and global sustainability are major public concerns all over the world, exacerbated in Hong Kong and Asia by their particularly rapid economic development, more and more resources are required to protect and manage our environment for attaining the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Thus, properly trained environmental engineers will be in increasing demand in the years to come.

Our innovative and well-balanced curriculum includes internship training, industry training, a final-year project and a capstone design project, giving students plenty of opportunities to gain professional experience and apply theory to real-life situations.
