About Smart Water and Environmental Engineering
Water infrastructure continue to face significant challenges of complex nature in many cities. Rapid urbanization, climate change, ageing infrastructure and emergence of new contaminants necessitates the need for a paradigm shift towards a new kind of water management intelligence. The advent of the Internet of Things (IoT), advanced modeling, simulation and visualization techniques, and a need for more sustainable smart cities, is already leading to a digital transformation of the water sector. Water Operation systems are increasingly being integrated with cyber-physical systems, digitalization, and big data.
The MSc. Study specialization in smart water rand environmental engineering introduces students to traditional engineering approaches, cutting edge digital technologies and data analytics techniques to address complex water challenges within the context of sustainable development.
