CiVil engineering
bachelor of Engineering (civil)
Duration: 4 years
campus: Joondalup
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.
The course 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.
Students will graduate with 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: Equivalency to Western Australia
Certificate of Education Mathematics (3C/3D) is required, and
equivalency to Western Australia Certificate of Education Physics
(3A/3B) is desirable.
Additional course Information:
Practicum Placement: During the course, students will be
required to undertake a minimum of 12 weeks practical work
experience located in an engineering industry environment.
This will normally be undertaken during a vacation period, even
though it is listed as a unit for Year 4 (ENS4111).
Professional Accreditation: Engineers Australia has granted
accreditation to this course.
