Abu dhabi: Khalifa University of Science and Technology today announced its Master of Engineering programme in Health, Safety and Environmental Engineering (MEng in HSE Engineering) will be available fully online from Fall 2025, to help practicing engineers and graduates enhance their expertise with such specialties.
According to Emirates News Agency, the online MEng in HSE Engineering will offer concentrations in Fire Protection, Process Safety, and Radiation Protection. The programme aims to equip professionals to assess and manage risk, devise optimal engineering and operational solutions, and ensure compliance with regulatory mandates and industry best practices.
Professor Bayan Sharif, Provost of Khalifa University, stated that the fully online MEng in HSE Engineering reflects the institution's commitment to offering strategically relevant programs critical to regional and global workplace requirements. As a research and enterprise-oriented higher education institution, their objective is to offer community initiatives that help build capacities while creating awareness on environment and safety. The graduates from this program are expected to contribute significantly to economic progress and the overall well-being of society.
Graduates of the MEng in Health, Safety, and Environment Engineering will be equipped to design water and wastewater systems that ensure clean, safe water by eliminating harmful bacteria and viruses. The demand for these specialists is expected to rise as environmental and safety concerns grow worldwide. In addition to environmental protection, their expertise in fire engineering is critical for designing systems and protocols that prevent, detect, and control fires in industrial and public settings.
Health and Safety Engineers play a key role in protecting lives, infrastructure, and the environment through risk reduction and sustainable planning. They are trained to assess hazards, report findings, and develop innovative, science-based solutions to complex safety and environmental challenges. Furthermore, they will be able to design machinery and equipment that improve human health or prevent diseases. They will assist in waste disposal, improve pollution control measures, and develop methods for cleaning up existing hazards.
