Develop the skills for a career as a Civil Engineer in this three year (full-time) Bachelor’s programme. Specialise in environmental, geotechnical, water, roading and transportation, or structural engineering. Learn to make informed decisions about civil engineering projects, and apply technology to solve practical engineering problems. Explore computer-modelling techniques, civil engineering project management, engineering materials and structures, and construction practices.
There are 5 pathways within the Civil major:
Structural engineering: design, construction, and supervision of buildings and other structures
Water engineering: including water supply, wastewater or stormwater disposal, river catchment systems, hydrology and erosion management, and urban drainage systems
Geotechnical engineering: foundation design, consolidation of fine-grained soils, improvement of slope stability, earth-retaining structures, geotechnical investigation and reports, and dewatering of construction sites
Roading and transportation engineering: design, construction and maintenance of roads, rail, sea and airport developments, and traffic engineering and urban transportation studies
Environmental engineering: including fundamentals of environmental engineering, the sensitive environment, and resource and environmental management
