This Bachelor of Engineering (Civil and Infrastructure) (Honours)/Bachelor of Business (Management) combines studies from both Civil and Infrastructure Engineering and Business Management degree programs and will be attractive to engineering students who believe training in business is essential for the advancement of their careers.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. You 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/investigation project that can be analytical, experimental, design or computational in nature (or some combination).The combination of Civil and Infrastructure Engineering and Business Management creates a wide range of career opportunities in Australia and overseas. There is a growing demand for engineering managers capable of leadership and decision-making across both technical and financial business systems. Engineering managers are involved in large scale capital investment projects and infrastructure policy and planning, and this double degree has been developed specifically to meet the current and future demands of the industry and the economy in general.
