Bachelor of Engineering (Civil and Infrastructure) (Honours)

Civil engineering involves the planning, design, construction, supervision, management and maintenance of the infrastructure projects necessary for the functioning of our modern community.

Over time, civil engineering has been divided into a number of major fields including structural, geotechnical, water resources and transport.

The modern civil engineer must also be capable of working on multidisciplinary projects.

Graduates are employed as project managers, design engineers, construction managers, environmental engineers and engineering asset managers.The key objectives of the Civil and Infrastructure engineering program are to:develop a sustainability framework for engineering decision-making develop personal and professional graduate capabilities in sustainability, problem-solving and decision-making, technical competence, communication and teamwork encourage collaboration as a powerful way of helping you and your fellow students to be more effective learners, and staff to be more effective teachers.Project-based learning is the dominant teaching method adopted for the Bachelor of Engineering (Civil and Infrastructure) (Honours) , with a strong focus on sustainability and technical competence included in each semester.Themes -Years 1 to 4Year themes are used to focus the attention of you and the staff on the different aims of, and aspects in, each of the four years of the program.Year 1:

Developing commitment and connectivityThe aim in Year 1 is to assist you to connect with who you are, the university and the profession you have chosen to enter.Year 2:

Covering the big, theoretical ideasThis is the year in which you will be learning the fundamentals of civil engineering.

The emphasis is on gaining conceptual understanding and quantification to a level appropriate to the task.Year 3:

Real world applicationsYou will use the theories developed in Year 2 to tackle designs and challenges based on real world applications.Year 4:

Connecting to your future careerYou will undertake a capstone experience in the final year courses OENG1167 Engineering Capstone Project Part A and OENG1168 Engineering Capstone Project Part B, in which you will conduct a research project that can be analytical, experimental, design or computational in nature (or some combination).This program is primarily delivered in face-to-face mode at the City Campus.
