BSc (Hons) Environment and Sustainable Development (Graduate of 2017)

Studying for my BSc (Hons) Environment and Sustainable Development (ESD) was an amazing experience for me. The programme offers students the opportunities to learn comprehensive knowledge and practical skills relevant to ESD. The programme courses cover air and noise pollution control, water and waste management, environmental impact assessment, energy sustainability, and sustainable designs. As students, my classmates and I acquired hands-on experience from laboratory classes in conducting environment-related measurements and experiments. The diverse range of courses allowed me to establish an extensive vision of the ESD industry.

In Year 3, I interned at Acoustics and Air Testing Laboratory Co. Ltd. Under the help of my seniors, I was able to set up and operate tools for on-site noise monitoring and air quality testing. In the final part of the internship, I even successfully constructed an acoustic model based on real-life cases. Working as a student intern enabled me to apply the knowledge I gained academically, and most importantly, to acquire practical working experience. 

After graduation, I joined the Green Building Team at Fugro Technical Services Ltd. Apart from environmental certification projects under BEAM Plus, LEED and WELL, I had also been involved in various types of on-site measurements concerning air quality, thermal, acoustic, and water quality measurements. Currently working in the Sustainability Team at WSP (Asia) limited, I participate in the sustainable design of large-scaled projects and support the team to prepare green building certifications.

I am grateful for the precious experience during my four-year study at CEE, as it provided a solid foundation for me to enter the field of Environmental Engineering and develop professionally in the industry.
