Water and Environmental Treatment Processes Major
Overview
The major in Water and Environmental Treatment Processes provides an opportunity for students to engage with two important global challenges: the provision of safe drinking water and the management of urban and industrial pollution. While exploring a range of new and emerging technologies in water purification and resource recovery, students will develop in-depth understanding of the water and waste treatment issues in a number of key industries and will learn how to select, adapt, evaluate and justify particular treatment options.
This major is best aligned with the Chemical or Biomedical stream.
