该双专业旨在使合格的土木工程师具备设计和建造明天的一体化，多中心可持续城市所需的环境系统工程技能。土木和环境工程师将设计和建造未来的可持续城市和地区，包括可持续建筑和区域，节能高效的快速运输系统以及提供水和能源安全以及固体废物解决方案。未来的城市及其支持区域将需要一种系统方法来设计，构建和管理其复杂的集成形式。
This dual major is designed to equip qualified Civil Engineers with the environmental systems engineering skills necessary to design and build tomorrow's integrated, multi-centred sustainable cities. Civil and Environmental Engineers will design and build future sustainable cities and regions, including sustainable buildings and precincts, energy-efficient rapid transit systems and the provision of water and energy security as well as solid waste solutions. Future cities and their supporting regions will require a systems approach to design, build and manage their complex, integrated forms.
