This unit has been developed to familiarise students with the intersection between the environment and human health through engineering projects represented in three scenarios: humanitarian improvement, addressing contamination and energy production. 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.
