Minor in Environmental Management
All NTU students except for those majoring in Civil and Environmental Engineering are eligible to offer and complete the Minor in Environmental Management. In addition, all NTU students can also choose to register for the Minor courses to fulfil the General
Education Requirements (GER) of their respective degree programmes.
The Asian environmental engineering industry is huge and rapidly growing. Paradoxically, while rapid urbanization and economic development have led to the widespread destruction
of virgin forests and pollution of rivers and lakes, it is the countries with clean and well-managed environments that will continue to attract valuable investments to fuel economic growth. Sustainable economic development therefore dictates that
environmental concerns must be properly addressed.
The Minor in Environmental Management is designed to expose students to a wide diversity of subjects on environmental management and planning. Students will be equipped with the essential
knowledge and skills on various aspects of protecting and improving our precious land, air and water resources.
The Minor programme allows students the freedom to take charge of what they want to do. Students can set their own pace and design their own curriculum in a way that best meet their personal needs and aspirations. Students can choose from an initial offering of 8 different courses, worth 3 AUs each.
These courses are listed below. Click on the course code to view the course content.
- EM9101 Environmental Quality
- EM9102 Environmental Management
- EM9103 Water Resources Management
- EM9104 Air Quality Management (mutually exclusive with CV4554/EN4554/EN3004 Air Pollution Control Engineering)
- EM9105 Energy Resources Management
- EM9106 Environmental Impact Assessment
- EM9107 Environmental Health and Safety Management
