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
Graduates have excellent employment opportunities with industry, government bodies and consulting engineering companies. As legislation becomes more stringent and the communities expectations increase there will be a need for institutions to employ more environmental engineers.
Practical teaching
QUT gives you real engineering experience you will undertake project based units and the industrial experience component will make you work ready and give you the employment edge.
Industry links
You will be exposed to ideas and experience of guest lecturers from the real world, industry professionals. Graduates include many industry leaders in Australia. Our academic staff are industry experienced and also members of international networks and collaborative research projects.
Course structure
You will learn about technical civil and environmental engineering and science, as well as environmental management skills in urban infrastructure and mining development. You will also learn about economic topics related to sustainable development.
Facilities / technology
You will use specialist computer software to solve difficult problems such as structural frame analysis, ground water flow and transport networks. 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 you will 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 Environmental Engineering:
Technical and engineering activities.
Solving problems
the environment
Design and using you creativity.
Additional Admission Information
Applicants who are offered a place and eligible to receive 168 credit points (or more) of advanced standing will be admitted to the CE46 Bachelor of Engineering (Civil and Environmental).
Recommended Study
Chemistry, Maths C and Physics.
Career Outcomes
Environmental management is concerned mainly with the assessment and management of the effect of human and other activity on the environment. Graduates apply their skills to find solutions for the management of liquid and solid waste, or air and noise pollution. Graduates can be employed by government bodies and private companies involved with the environmental aspects of planning, designing, constructing and monitoring of structures and facilities including mines, factories, power stations, water and waste water treatment plants and refineries. As legislation becomes more stringent and the community's expectations increase, there will be need for institutions to employ more environmental engineers.
Overview
This course wil provide you with the technical eduscation in civil, environmental engineering and science as well as enviromental management skills and mining and sustainable development.
Minors
You will have the opportunity to undertaken two minors; a minor is four units (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.
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 Environmental) must obtain at least 60 days of industrial experience/practice in an engineering environment as approved by the course coordinator.
International Student Entry
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).
