Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) K53 - JO
Duration: 4 Years
Practicum: Yes
Civil Engineering is the branch of Engineering that deals with
the design, construction and maintenance of the human‐made
environment, including buildings, roads, bridges, tunnels, dams
and other large physical structures. Areas of study within
the Civil Engineering course include a foundation in physical
and engineering sciences along with computer aided design,
engineering materials, structural design and analysis, steel
and concrete design, surveying, road design and construction,
water supply engineering, construction technology and site
management, and project management.
Focuses on the development of knowledge and skills relevant
to professional engineering practice and, along with a sound
theoretical base, includes strong elements of practical problem
solving, team work and project development. As a result, as well
as having multiple technical and transferable skill competencies,
graduates will have strong analytical skills and the ability to
lead complex projects. Graduates will have competencies in
all major areas of civil engineering, and be able to participate
in and lead complex multidisciplinary projects. Civil Engineers
have strong employment opportunities in many sectors of
industry including road and transport, construction, mining and
resource, public utilities, defence, and consulting.
Admission requirements
Year 12 Maths; or equivalent.
Year 12 Physics or equivalent is desirable.
