Diploma of Technology in Environmental Protection
在昆特蘭理工大學
關於課程
Environmental protection technologists provide an invaluable service to society by helping protect and sustain the long-term health of our ecosystems.
Environmental consultants, industry and government seek out graduates from our Environmental Protection Technology program. They do this because our graduates have developed the skills needed to offer professional advice on a wide range of subjects, including: environmental impact assessment, hazardous and non-hazardous waste management, waste reduction and reuse strategies, air, soil and water pollution prevention and monitoring, compliance auditing, and contaminated site investigation and remediation. This skill set is based on an integrated, hands-on training program that gives graduates a good working knowledge of physical and life sciences, including general biology, ecology, toxicology, chemistry, physics and statistics. Specific topics covered by the program include:
Air, water and soil field sampling
Solid, liquid and air treatment methods
Waste minimization
Hazardous goods and waste handling methods
WHMIS implementation and compliance evaluation
Emergency planning and spill response methods
Recycling and waste minimization program design
Environmental issues analysis
Environmental law and ethics
Written and oral presentation skills
Computer software competency
Although graduates typically work within a team of professionals, they must also be able to work independently and take initiative as required, the program helps promote these attributes. Successful completion of the two-year program prepares graduates for employment at the technology level within industry or government often with excellent potential for upward mobility as job experience grows.
Students may complete the program over the course of three years. This is recommended for students who intend to work part-time while enrolled in the program or for those who prefer a lighter academic load. Please contact the Program Chair for details.
This program operates with two four-month Co-op work terms. KPU has been successful in arranging unique and challenging placements with government agencies such as Environment Canada and the BC Ministry of the Environment, with environmental consultants, and with other industries. Most importantly, these Co-op placements facilitate entry into successful careers by the Environmental Protection Technology graduates.
Environmental Protection Technology students vary in age and background. Some students come to us directly from high school, while others may be in their forties, looking for a change of career. There is usually a balance of genders, and about a third of our students come with some previous post-secondary credits. Typically our students seek a practical education that leads to varied careers that include opportunities for outdoor field work ? and all are keen to make a contribution towards protecting our environment.
An advisory committee works closely with the program to maintain and update the curriculum and ensure that graduates are well prepared for the job market. This committee consists of potential employers from the public and private sectors, as well as several graduates of the program who are well established in the field.
Graduates are employed with environmental consulting firms, federal, provincial or municipal departments, as environmental staff in large industries, or are self-employed. Program graduates have experienced a high rate of employment in the environmental field. The Co-operative Education component of the program has proved to be extremely valuable, with several of the graduates obtaining positions with their Co-op employers.
