Content
This unit has been developed to familiarise students with the intersection between the environment and human health through engineering projects that address key United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs): humanitarian improvement (UNSDG 6 - Clean Water & Sanitation), addressing contamination (UNSDGs 14 & 15 - Life Below Water and Life on Land) and energy production (UNSDG 7 - Affordable and Clean Energy). While the technical content will reflect on foundations of these issues, significant emphasis will be placed on the approach to finding a solution and its communication rather than the solution itself.
Hurdle requirement
To be eligible to obtain a pass in this unit, students must achieve a mark of at least 40% on the group town hall meeting (AT2).
