COURSE DESCRIPTION

Civil engineering. A firm foundation for your career.

We educate our engineers to meet the global challenges of the future. You’ll learn to engineer energy-efficient buildings using the latest materials. You could help to develop sustainable and resilient infrastructure in developing countries.

What is civil engineering Civil engineers are responsible for the physical infrastructure that allows society to function. Your studies will cover the three main civil specialisations in structural, water and geotechnical engineering. You will study buildings, highways, railways, tunnels, airports, water supply and wastewater management, power generation facilities and harbour facilities. Your courses will focus on preparing you to design, build and manage these structures and systems as a qualified civil engineer.

Your studies might lead you to design Australia’s first high-speed train network, connecting communities and reducing carbon emissions. You might even build a revolutionary water recycling plant to tackle water security issues.

Course overview

Build critical technical engineering skills by studying courses in:

structural engineering

water engineering

geomechanics

transportation engineering

civil engineering materials

engineering management

Career opportunities

Civil engineers can work for construction companies, consulting firms, project management companies, transport companies and governments.

Specialties can include:

structural engineering – design buildings, bridges, airports, railways, and towers. Understand the suitability of materials for infrastructure projects.

water engineering – design and manage water supply, control and treatment systems.

transport and traffic engineering – plan, investigate and optimise transport systems.

geotechnical engineering – design foundations, support structures. Assess the stability of slopes and tunnels.

Engineering is the most commonly held degree of the highest-performing Fortune 500 CEOs. The CEOs of companies such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon and Tesla Motors are all engineers.
