Bachelor of Engineering (Civil and Structural) with Bachelor of Economics B.E(Ci)/Ec
2008

Location:	North Terrace Campus
Duration:	5 years (full time)
Degree:	Double 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 study of economics at the University of Adelaide will help you understand how a market economy works. It will also help you to develop other important employment skills - critical and logical thinking, evaluation of argument and evidence, knowing where and how to find information, working with initiative and in teams, and communicating both orally and in writing. These are the skills that employers constantly say they look for in graduates.

A combined degree for Civil & Structural Engineering is available with the Bachelor of Economics (stream code 207).
