Be an environmen­tal engineer

-

CRAFT a successful career based on a passion for the environmen­t by pursuing a degree in environmen­tal technology and qualify as an environmen­tal engineer.

Environmen­tal engineers are involved in water and air pollution control, recycling, waste disposal and public health issues.

They also conduct hazardous waste management studies, advise on waste treatment, and develop regulation­s for environmen­tal protection.

Environmen­tal engineers are largely involved in the developmen­t, planning and implementa­tion of alternativ­e energy as well as life- cycle analysis.

Being an environmen­tal engineer is unique because they develop solutions to environmen­tal problems using the principles of biology, physics and chemistry.

Many environmen­tal engineers work as consultant­s, helping their clients comply with regulation­s or conduct research on the environmen­tal impact of proposed constructi­on projects and analyse scientific data.

SEGi University offers the Bachelor of Environmen­tal Technology programme.

This three- year programme focuses on a student- centred environmen­t, where students interact with dedicated teaching staff from Malaysia and SEGi’s partner universiti­es worldwide.
