Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Civil and Construction Engineering

Outline

Civil engineers design and construct infrastructure. They are key members of teams involved in making buildings, bridges, roads and highways, harbours, dams, irrigation and water supplies, municipal infrastructure and other large projects.

As our built environment becomes smarter and more complex, ambitious construction projects require teams of people with different skills, working together. The civil engineer is central to this process.

In this course, you will develop scientific, mathematical and practical skills, grow your civil engineering capabilities and create engineering solutions to different problems.

You’ll learn about structural analysis and design, geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering, hydraulics, construction, water and environmental resources, and professional practice.

In your final year, you’ll integrate your design, construction and management skills into large civil engineering projects, and undertake a major civil engineering research project.

You’ll also choose specialisation units in the areas of structural, geotechnical, transportation, water resources and environmental engineering.

Before you graduate, you will undertake extensive professional engineering practice through relevant work experience or a combination of technical and non-technical activities.
