In this program you'll learn how to protect, restore and create engineered and natural systems that are socially, environmentally and economically sustainable. Sustainable systems engineering brings together the new technologies and innovative engineering approaches we need for sustainable global development. It strives to meet the needs of society within economic and ecological constraints. Climate change is a matter of national and international importance. Research has shown that the consumption of energy and other resources in human developed systems such as cars and heaters need to be designed for sustainability. This is feeding a sharp global rise in demand for engineers who can develop sustainable systems.

Meeting the future needs and challenges of sustainability will require a comprehensive design approach, with a focus on whole-of-system requirements, and an understanding of lifecycle. You'll take a holistic approach to engineering the best-possible, compliance-driven sustainable solutions that present leading business opportunities. Graduates will find work in areas of energy, transport, logistics, sustainable product design, energy efficiency, renewable energy, sustainable transport systems and vehicles, manufacturing and logistics.
