消防工程涉及火灾的工作方式，其对人/社会，建筑环境和环境的影响以及火灾的预防/控制。消防工程还考虑了诸如火焰的结构或喷水如何影响烟云湍流等基本问题。这是在安全，经济和法律经常相互矛盾的约束条件下开发新的技术和工程解决方案的过程中所面临的挑战。本课程着重于建筑物和基础设施方面的火灾以及预测火灾和设计的技术反对他们。消防工程的应用是多学科的（从法律到化学，学术研究的各个领域都在这种理解中起作用），并且可以想象，像在专业领域一样，您将开展项目工作，这将促进之间的对话。消防工程师以及设计和管理团队的其他成员。
Fire Engineering is about how fires work, the effects they have on people/society, built environment and the environment and the prevention/suppression of fires. Fire Engineering also considers fundamental things such as the structure of a flame or how a water spray affects the turbulence of cloud of smoke. It is the development of novel technological and engineering solutions within the often contradictory constraints of safety, economy and the law which pose the challenge in the course.This course emphasises fire in the context of buildings and infrastructure, and the technology for predicting fires and designing against them. The application of Fire Engineering is multi-disciplinary (every area of academic study plays a role in this understanding from law to chemistry) and it is envisaged that, as in the professional world, you will carry out project work, which will facilitate dialogue between the Fire Engineer and other members of the design and management teams.
