BSc Environmental Engineering
"The ultimate goal of Environmental Engineering is to provide solutions for economic and social activities aligned with the sustainable development"
Overview
The Environmental Engineering Undergraduate Programme by NOVA School of Science and Technology has been a pioneer for over 40 years, combining basic engineering skills (mathematics and computing) with natural sciences (such as physics, chemistry, biology and ecology) and social sciences, integrating technological, ecological, economic, and social issues.
This Undergraduate Programme will help identify, implement, and manage innovative solutions for environmental sustainability. The focus is on holistic training and systemic thinking, analytical skills, innovation, and collaborative models. The goal of Environmental Engineering is to provide solutions for economic and social activities aligned with the sustainable development.
Identify and analyze the pressures on environmental systems and how they can be overcome
Understand the functioning of natural systems, to cope with its value intertwined with economic and social activities
Evaluate and manage natural resources such as water and energy; understand industrial, urban and technological processes
Identify solutions and opportunities for innovation, towards the energy and climate transition
Adapt economic activities and companies to the extraordinary evolution in the scope and expertise to tackle the sustainability challenges of the 21st century
Graduates in Environmental Engineering add value to any organization that has to deal with environmental and sustainability challenges
Career Opportunities
The interdisciplinary nature of the Bachelor's Degree in Environmental Engineering offers its graduates a unique profile for working on multiple interfaces, particularly useful for dealing with complex systems, and for exploring job opportunities in a wide range of professional contexts.
The current high level and quality of employability of Environmental Engineering professionals, in the global market, will expand in view of the ecological transition that economies are starting to adopt. Professional opportunities in many fields include consulting, auditing or service and utilities companies, industry, public organizations such as municipalities or regional government, international organizations.
All programmes are in accreditation by:
A3ES (Portuguese Agency for Assessment and Accreditation of Higher Education) and all Engineering programmes are recognized by the Portuguese Order of Engineers, FEANI (Federation of Professional Engineers that unites national engineering associations from 33 European Higher Education Area (EHEA) countries) and EUR-ACE (European Accredited Engineer).
