Why choose this course?
The Faculty of Built Environment and Engineering at QUT is dedicated to quality teaching and learning. The Faculty's interactions with industry and high academic standard make it a unique place to study.
Career outcomes
If you are attracted to the intellectual rigour of engineering, but with a bias towards the challenge of converting design into physical reality then construction engineering is the career for you.
Practical teaching
You will graduate with generic skills in leadership, teamwork, communication, and creative thinking. You will work closley with staff in an innovative environment that involves hands-on activities such as using specilaist software to solve real-world engineering problems.
Industry links
You will be exposed to ideas and experience of guest lecturers and industry professionals. Our academic staff are industry experienced and also members of international networks and collaborative research projects.
Course structure
You will have the opportunity to work with other students and staff in the student-run laboratory classes and on real world projects which will enhance your knowledge and develop your problem solving skills. While enrolled in the course you will also undertake industrial experience in an engineering environment.
Facilities / technology
Our programs are responsive and relevant to the changing needs of the industry and the society we live in. Experiential and practical learning opportunities are provided through specially designed learning environments and tradition laboratory areas. Facilities that integrate virtual and web based material with physical equipment ensure that students get the opportunity to learn by doing which is an important part of engineering education.
Convenience
You will study at QUT's Gardens Point campus in the centre of Brisbane, within easy walking distance to public transport, including buses, trains and ferries.
Who should do this course?
If you are interested in any of the following, you may enjoy a career in Civil and Construction Engineering:
Building and Construction
How things work
Technical and engineering activities.
Recommended study
Chemistry, Maths C and Physics.
Career Outcomes
Construction engineering is suited to people attracted to the intellectual rigour of engineering, but with a bias towards the challenge of converting design into physical reality. While the course retains sufficient traditional civil engineering to enable graduates to work in consultant¿ offices, most would be employed by civil construction companies and Government Departments. Commercial and legal studies equip graduates to progress through the management structures of these organisations or to establish companies of their own. The range of work undertaken by civil construction companies ranges from residential land development through earthworks, tunnels, roads and dams to airports, marine facilities, major bridges and. complex buildings. The world wide trend towards design and construction being undertaken within one organisation, acts to advantage engineers competent in both.
Overview
This course combines civil engineering with construction management, you will study civil engineering subjects combined with the requirements for managing the construction of large projects.
Professional Recognition
Full professional accreditation from Engineers Australia has been given for this course.
Special Course Requirements
A candidate for the degree of Bachelor of Engineering (Civil and Construction) must complete at least 60 days of industrial experience/ practice in an engineering construction environment as approved by the course coordinator.
Minors
You will have the opportunity to undertaken two minors(a minor is four units or 48
credit points) in the same discipline. For professional recognition you will undertake an Applications Minor which consists of a Work Place Integrated Learning unit, a project unit and two specialised civil engineering units. The second minor may be taken from an approved list outside your discipline.
International Student Entry
International students who are interested in mid-year entry should consult the Faculty of Built Environment and Engineering Student Services section regarding the course structure to be undertaken.
International students must maintain an enrolment program that will allow them to complete their course within the specified timeframe of their eCoE (electronic Confirmation of Enrolment).
