Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) (Honours)

Federation University Australia

About

Learn problem-solving and analytical skills as well as environmental, social and political aspects that will impact your career as a civil engineer.

Explore how to prevent flooding, design irrigation systems and construct multi-story buildings to ensure structures are safe, economical and environmentally sound.In the final year of the program, you will have the opportunity to undertake a specialisation in structural or water and wastewater engineering.

You may also be interested in benefiting from our Industry Placement Program, providing you with the opportunity to gain valuable and relevant workplace experience.

Take part in a two-year professional development program and receive up to 26 weeks placement and an industry scholarship of up to $15,000.The Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) (Honours) is a four-year program, accredited by Engineers Australia – the global home for engineering professionals renowned as leaders in shaping a sustainable world.Career prospects in civil engineering are both solid and diverse.

Upon successful completion of this program you can seek employment in government and private organisations, specialising in civil and building engineering.

As a professional civil engineer, you may oversee teams of engineering technologists and skilled trade staff to construct the designs that you have created, working at a theoretical level to isolate, analyse and define a required engineering outcome.Career opportunities include but are not limited to property and land development, roads and railways, airports, towers, bridges, pipelines, gas and water supply systems, dams and harbours in the mining, marine and offshore industries.

If you wish to progress to further study, you may consider a Master of Engineering program.
