Sustainable Engineering is a rapidly growing, internationally recognised discipline. Its goal is to avoid generating waste in production systems while minimising the use of energy, material, water and other natural resources. Its outcomes are reductions in production costs, energy consumption, pollution and health risks.

The courses will provide decision makers in business, government and other organisations with insights, skills and tools to enable them to contribute to the achievement of such outcomes. The courses are multidisciplinary and incorporate both theoretical and practical approaches to Cleaner Production and Eco-Efficiency.The sustainable engineering program was established in 2000, and has since developed into a widely-acclaimed course with national and international standing. The courses are offered at three levels - a professional certificate, graduate certificate and full professional master.
