COURSE DESCRIPTION
Highlights
- Ideal for practising engineers who want advanced, cutting-edge knowledge and skills in a chosen engineering field or want to move into an engineering management role.
- Lead and contribute to complex projects.
- Respond rapidly and effectively to current and emerging local and global challenges.
- Use evidence-based practice to imagine and realise change using management strategies, advanced design, collaborative decision-making and innovation.
- Choose from three majors within this study area.
- We are seeking provisionally accreditation for the following course majors with Engineers Australia:
- Civil Engineering
- Civil and Construction
- Civil and Management.
This two-year course provides a developmental path for professional engineers to master skills in selected engineering disciplines and the interaction of those disciplines. Enhance your skills in dealing with more complex engineering problems and interactions between engineering technical domains and the broader context in which they exist.
Why choose this course?
This course enhances the knowledge, practice and professional employability skills of engineers in specific discipline areas at an advanced level. Explore an integrated mix of specialist discipline complexity and evidence-based practice with future-focused professional skills development in a connected learning environment.
You can choose from three majors as part of this main study area:
- Civil engineeringprovides advanced studies in the broad spectrum of civil engineering disciplines, expanding the knowledge gained in undergraduate degrees and applying it to complex problems. The course will prepare graduates to deal with future challenges in sustainability of civil infrastructure with respect to global warming and population growth.
- Civil and construction provides advanced studies in design, building and maintenance of civil infrastructures, while expanding the knowledge gained in undergraduate degrees. Explore the sustainability of buildings, roads and utility networks in the context of future challenges to get prepared for a changing world.
- Civil and management provides advanced studies in the broad spectrum of civil engineering disciplines, expanding the knowledge gained in undergraduate degrees and complementing them with relevant management theory and practice in preparation to solve complex tasks in managing civil engineering projects.
This course is suitable for practising engineers who want to change engineering disciplines and attain postgraduate qualifications.
Careers and outcomes
