Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Civil Engineering)
With a major in Civil Engineering, focus on infrastructure design, planning, development, construction, and maintenance. Gain hands-on industry experience through practical work and a final year research project.
About the Course
With your major in Civil Engineering, you will focus on the areas of infrastructure design, planning, development, construction and maintenance. Apply your knowledge through practical work experience and an exciting final year research project that will give you hands-on industry experience. Previous students have produced projects in the fields of material testing and properties of earth friendly concrete, the analysis of high speed rural traffic incidents and the effects of improved vehicle technology on road design. Diversify your skillset and combine your major studies in Civil Engineering with a four-unit minor in Management, Transport Engineering, Data Management or Mining Engineering.
