What is Civil Engineering?Civil engineers design, construct, manage, operate and maintain the infrastructure that supports modern society including buildings, bridges, roads
and highways, tunnels, airports, dams, ports and harbours, railways, new mines, water supply and sewerage schemes, irrigation systems and flood
mitigation works. There is a flexible common first year for all BE degrees in the Faculty of Engineering except Software Engineering and Bioinformatics. This will allow students to select electives in first year and later years of the program. A typical program sequence is shown below:
Program StructureYEAR 1
Mathematics, Physics, Engineering Computing, Engineering Design and electives including: Engineering Mechanics, Engineering Materials and
Chemistry, Engineering Surveying & SIS
YEAR 2
Mechanics of Solids, Engineering Mathematics, Principles of Water Engineering, Engineering Construction, Soil Mechanics, Materials and Structures, Engineering Computations for Civil Engineers, General Education
YEAR 3
Sustainable Transport and Highway Engineering, Applied Geotechnics and Engineering Geology, Structural Analysis and Modelling, Water Resources
Engineering, Structural Behaviour and Design, Engineering Operations and Control, Water and Wastewater Engineering, Civil Engineering Practice
YEAR 4 (only from 2009 onwards)
Professional Electives, Honours Thesis or Design Practice, General Education
Career OpportunitiesMost civil engineers work in an office environment where they investigate, plan, design and manage projects; others manage and supervise
construction projects on site. Employment can be found with: specialist consulting firms, construction and contracting companies, large public companies, federal, state and local government organisations, airport and harbour authorities, project developers, financial and management consultants, and many more.
Professional RecognitionThis degree is fully accredited by the Institution of Engineers, Australia. Substantial or complete recognition of the degree is also given in most
overseas countries.
