Abstract
This paper examines the concept of environmental education as it relates to engineering education. The main area of applicability is considered to be in the continuing and postgraduate education areas, although some environmental input into undergraduate degree programmes is thought to be desirable.The interdisciplinary nature of environmental problems necessitates a certain amount of formal coursework which should be coupled with a project to provide experience in solving real problems. The course-work should contain both broadening elements to introduce students to the relevance of disciplines outside their undergraduate experience and a specialization in a particular multidisciplinary area such as air pollution control or water resources engineering.The criteria for environmental programmes in engineering are developed with special reference to the new Environmental Engineering Postgraduate Programme at the University of Melbourne.
