Programme Description
The Diploma is designed to provide civil engineers and other suitably qualified graduates with a sound knowledge of present day practice in environmental engineering.
The course has special relevance for local authority engineers but it has also been designed for those in the private sector who have a particular interest in environmental management. Topics covered in the course include air quality, noise, hydrological processes, water and wastewater treatment, solid and toxic waste management, fire safety engineering and environmental monitoring and control. Environmental Impact Studies and analysis of risk, as an inherent part of infrastructural development, are also considered.
This course has been approved by Engineers Ireland as meeting its requirements for continuing professional development.
