Title: The development of environmental education in engineering courses at Swinburne University of Technology
Author(s): Lamborn, J. M.; Frecker, G. B.
Abstract: Swinburne University of Technology has recently undergone a major redesign of its undergraduate engineering courses. This has enabled the introduction of an environmental stream within the civil engineering course and the inclusion of environmentally focused subjects within the chemical engineering course. The demand for these streams had existed for some time and course redesign offered an ideal opportunity to change the approach and emphasis within the existing undergraduate courses.
