Introduction
The program addresses the demand for graduates who have the skills to develop technological solutions for air, water, and soil protection in existing and emerging sectors across the industry (particularly agri-food and bioresources), consulting companies, and regulatory authorities. This program will enable its students to acquire skills in the areas of environmental engineering, risk assessment, air pollution, waste management, life cycle assessment, buildings and environment, energy systems, and sustainable environment. Students will enhance their ability to work effectively as individuals, in teams, and in multi-disciplinary settings, together with the capacity to undertake lifelong learning.
This program is delivered by a highly research-intensive School comprised of a European Research Council Fellow and six Marie Curie Fellowships. Opportunities for site visits and industry internships are provided where possible. Dr Tom Curran the academic coordinator has received teaching and research awards from UCD, the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE), the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE), and most recently the prestigious Fulbright Award (TechImpact). The UCD School of Biosystems & Food Engineering consistently wins up to €3 million in annual research funding.
