If you prefer a more practical approach to learning, you'll excel in this hands-on degree. It's all about design and construction with a focus on technology. You'll learn how to solve design problems, cost and analyse project resources, conduct tests and research and gather and analyse data. It's these skills that will help give the expert advice needed in the design and construction industry. From your second year of study you will undertake a specialisation in civil engineering. Your study areas include 'fundamentals of structural design', 'transport infrastructure', 'waste and wastewater infrastructure design', 'geo-mechanics' and more. And you'll get experience in the workforce through an industry-based course. When you graduate, you may work with a private consultant, in the mining industry or government organisations. FedUni is committed to producing creative, engineering technologists who have a good knowledge of social, environmental, economic and organisational issues that are necessary to obtain employment as an engineering technologist and to be admitted as an engineering technologist with Engineers Australia.
