RMIT University

Students can take on this doctoral program to gain research skills and training, contribute original research-based knowledge to your chosen field and embark on an environmental engineering research career. Research interests in the environmental engineering discipline are: land degradation, Environmental planning and policy, composting, waste auditing, management and waste minimisation, wastewater treatment, sludge digestion, groundwater resource management, hydrodynamics and stochastic modelling, eutrophication of waterways, water conservation and recycling, life cycle analysis, corrosion in sewerage systems, climate change, sustainable systems, air pollution, transport modelling and simulation, intelligent transport systems, traffic engineering. There are many research areas where students will get opportunity to work closely with industry and derive a solution for a major environmental problem. Close supervision will be provided to you in developing the idea as a fully scoped proposal, which will then be reviewed and approved by the School.
One of the following: Successful completion of an Australian Masters by Research degree or equivalent, Successful completion of an Australian Masters by Coursework degree or equivalent WITH a research component graded as a distinction (GPA of 3.00 out of
In this course major studies include gaining of research skills and training, contributing original research-based knowledge to chosen field and embarking on an environmental engineering research career and research on particular topics chosen topics .
Entry into a Research program at RMIT is not based solely on academic achievement and applicants must meet the following minimum academic requirements to be considered for candidature.
Environmental engineering offers an enormous range of career opportunities. Fields include structural design, water or other resource and land development, transportation systems, hazardous waste management and general project management.Environmental engineers develop and implement technologies to solve problems like meeting clean water supply needs and protecting public health. They address the air pollution issues of acid rain and global warming and reduce pollution while maintaining and improving the quality of life we enjoy. Many decide to start their own businesses.
