Connected careers
Learning about climate change helps engineers interpret future conditions before choosing design limits.
Look for climate projections and ways to understand their uncertainty.
Learning about environmental systems helps engineers trace pollution found in air, water and soil.
Learning about environmental systems helps scientists plan surveys and collect samples that reveal pollution risks.
Look for field sampling practice and check local safety and project requirements.
Learning about water and pollution helps geologists study where groundwater and contaminants may travel.
Check whether your chosen work involves groundwater and the course covers it.
Learning emissions measurement helps specialists understand supplier data used in carbon-related import reports.
Does your course include industrial emissions accounting? Check the applicable reporting method.
Learning environmental measurement helps disclosure analysts understand emissions, energy and other environmental data.
Does your course include emissions measurement and the reporting methods used by employers?
Learning environmental impacts helps sustainability coordinators identify waste and energy problems that need attention.
Pollution and sampling learning helps you monitor whether a workplace is meeting environmental limits.
Check local environmental rules, safe sampling training and reporting duties.
Learning about pollution and sampling helps you check air, water and soil at inspected sites.
Check local inspection powers, sampling training and safety procedures.
