The future of engineering is sustainable. Sustainability engineering is among the top 25 emerging occupations in Australia, and sustainability principles and practices are quickly becoming embedded in all phases of engineering projects (Queensland State Government, Department of Energy and Public Works).

Sustainable infrastructure underpins the liveability and productivity of every major city and regional community through effective transport and communications infrastructure, versatile buildings, water and gas systems. 

This course provides you with the ability to lead and contribute to complex sustainable infrastructure projects and respond rapidly and effectively to current and emerging local and global challenges, such as impacts of climate change, pollution, and rapid urbanisation on civil infrastructure.  

You will consult on real industry challenges with a range of transport, water, and manufacturing employers to develop cost-effective and environmentally responsible infrastructure solutions for future cities. Some of our key partnerships include Energy Queensland, Powerlink, Brisbane City Council, Department of Transport and Main Roads, SEQ Waters and Urban Utilities.
