Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Civil) (pre 2017)
The University of Newcastle
About
The civil engineer's job is to solve problems relating to the infrastructure of modern society, and to consider the environmental impact, efficiency and cost effectiveness of this infrastructure.
For example, civil engineers may be involved in establishing whether or not a building design is safe, or may inspect and analyse a dam wall to see if it is structurally sound.
Civil engineers enjoy excellent career prospects as they are involved in so many facets of everyday life and its associated infrastructure.
