Environmental Engineering

1. You’re asked to design an upgrade of a wastewater treatment plant for a growing town. How do you start?

2. How comfortable are you with numerical modelling, such as groundwater flow or air pollution dispersion?

3. A project has to balance environmental targets, a tight budget and residents’ objections. What do you do?

4. Would you like to write a thesis on, for example, recovering energy from sewage sludge or removing micropollutants from water?

5. The programme is taught in English, and your classmates are engineers from different countries who know different regulations and technologies. How do you see that?

6. Your stormwater design is rejected at a regulatory review. How do you respond?

7. How do you feel about life cycle assessment and carbon footprint calculations?

8. Would you like to lead a team of engineers on an infrastructure project?

9. Nature-based solutions and smart water networks are gaining ground. How do you react?

10. What motivates you most to pursue a Master’s degree in Environmental Engineering?
