However, it is required that students must complete at least three elective courses and a research project in their chosen specialization. The new specialization Hydraulics and Environmental Engineering is attempted to address the demand from local engineers and our graduates for advanced knowledge and technologies in the areas of hydraulics and environmental engineering due to the recent overhaul of the sewage pipeline system in Macau and the construction of waste water treatment plants. The program of study requires the students to complete two core courses, six elective courses and a master thesis. The courses would be offered during the first and second academic years. Students would then start their research project in the second semester of the second academic year till the end of the third academic year.
Many courses assume that students have prior, or preliminary, knowledge of the area of study.
It is the responsibility of students to acquaint themselves with the level of assumed prior knowledge and take steps, if necessary, obtain it. IMSC217 Special Topics in Environmental Engineering 3 credits IMSC218 Air Pollution Meteorology and Chemistry 3 credits The offer of elective courses would be determined according to the availability of academic staff and would be announced before enrollment.
