The Civil and Environmental Engineering course includes a range of studies in Civil Engineering combined with a special focus on the impacts that engineering projects have on the environment. The course consists of 480 credit points (thirty core units, two electives and one 0 credit point practicum unit). Many engineering projects, especially those that may impact on the quality of land, water and air, require detailed environmental analysis to identify and mitigate any chances that the project will adversely affect the environment. It is essential to consider both the short and long term sustainability of such projects and their environmental consequences. Areas of study include a foundation in physical and engineering sciences along with computer aided design, engineering materials, soil mechanics and other foundational civil engineering areas of study. The course also includes more advanced studies in environmental risk assessment and management, water and wastewater treatment, water distribution systems and wastewater collection systems, waste disposal and management, air-borne pollution control and the principles that ensure long term sustainable engineering design solutions. Graduates will have competencies in both civil and environmental engineering, and be able to participate in and lead complex multidisciplinary projects. 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.
Civil and Environmental engineers have strong employment opportunities in many sectors of industry including infrastructure development projects (roads and transportation, urban development), public utilities (water supply, waste disposal), mining (planning and operations) and consulting (project management).
ENTRANCE PATHWAYS Applicants who do not meet the mathematics prerequisite for this course should consider applying for the Bachelor of Technology (Electronic and Computer Systems) or the Bachelor of Technology (Motorsports) as a pathway. Bachelor of Technology students who successfully complete their first year of study can expect to gain entry into the Bachelor of Engineering courses with advanced standing.
HONOURS IN ENGINEERING Students whose performance over the first three years of the course is of a high standard may be transferred into a Bachelor of Engineering Honours degree for their fourth year of study.
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS Overseas students may be admitted to this course subject to satisfying English proficiency entry requirements, in addition to meeting academic admission requirements.
PRACTICUM REQUIREMENTS 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).
ACCREDITATION This course will be reviewed by Engineers Australia in 2014 for provisional accreditation status. |
