From the fundamentals of scientific research to engineering applications, the BE(Hons)/BSc offers the skills and understanding necessary for innovation in a technologically complex ecosystem. With nine engineering specialisations and a huge selection of science majors, the BE(Hons)/BSc allows you to tailor your studies to suit your specific interests. You may consider studying complementary disciplines. For example, you could pair Exercise Sciences or Chemistry with Mechatronics to serve the increasing demand for smart devices and robotics. Alternatively you could take a School of Environment course and develop your ability to provide engineering solutions for a sustainable future. As more global industries seek people who can help to advance research and technology, your grasp of scientific and engineering principles will enable you to serve society's needs. Engineering and Science play a vital role in addressing the key issues that confront us and future generations, so youll be prepared for a wide range of career opportunities. With our BE(Hons) being accredited by Engineering New Zealand, youll also be qualified to work in many countries outside of New Zealand.<br><br>Environmental Science seeks to use a range of approaches to better understand and solve environmental problems. From studying the environmental effects of human activity to applying scientific knowledge and skills to preserve and restore our natural heritage Environmental Science seeks solutions to pressing environmental problems. You will focus on real-world problems, the biological, chemical and physical processes that underlie them, and ways in which humans interact in these issues. You will gain skills in understanding and processing scientific information. You will analyse and model environmental data, and communicate that information, including the risk and uncertainty involved in it, to better preserve and restore our natural environment.
