Bachelor of Engineering (Civil and Structural) and Bachelor of Arts B.E(Ci)&BA
2008

Location:	North Terrace Campus
Duration:	5 years (full time)
Degree:	Combined Degree

Program Outline

Civil & Structural engineers create and maintain much of the physical infrastructure of society while managing and conserving our natural resources. The goal is to do this in a sustainable manner. This ensures that we can provide adequate infrastructure and natural resources for current generations, without compromising the ability of future generations to do the same. Civil engineers are responsible for the planning, design and construction of bridges, buildings, structures, roads, water supply, dams, pipelines, sewerage treatment facilities, drainage, pollution control equipment, and coastal management facilities.

The Bachelor of Arts (BA) is globally accepted as the program which provides most flexibility in study choices for students. The BA suits students who are interested in the big picture, finding answers to burning questions, understanding human behaviours, cultures and history, and exploring new or existing areas of study. Students specialise in areas of their choice by taking a 'major' (from one of 32 areas) and potentially a 'minor' (from one of 40 areas). This study plan gives students depth of knowledge and skills in a specialised field, while having breadth of understanding in other areas.

Regardless of their specialisation, all BA students build skills that are highly valued by a variety of employers, such as the ability to find creative solutions to problems, researching and analysing information, the capacity for lifelong learning, and effectively communicating at many levels. These attributes mean students can adapt to different challenges that they might face in their future careers, studies and daily lives.

A combined degree for Civil & Structural Engineering is available with the Bachelor of Arts (stream code 206).

Students may complete the single degree of Bachelor of Engineering/Arts in five years of full-time study (with some overload). In addition to the program of study for Engineering, students complete 12 units at level I from any Humanities and Social Science discipline and a major sequence. Please contact the School of Engineering for further information.
