Bachelor of Engineering (Civil and Environmental) with Bachelor of Finance B.E(CE)/Fi
2008

Program Outline

Civil & Environmental Engineering is concerned with assessing and managing the effects of human activity on the natural and built environments. 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. Environmental engineers may be involved in environmental impact assessment, water resources management, pollution control, waste management or the planning and design of engineering facilities to minimise their impact on the environment.

This program includes a core of civil engineering analysis and design, along with detailed studies in environmental science and engineering. It has a particular emphasis on water resources management and pollution control. Computer-based methods are used extensively in the program.

The first two years of the program build a mathematical, scientific and engineering design foundation for the third and fourth years where studies include professional engineering courses, specialisations, communication and management courses and project work. The program includes studies in environmental economics and environmental law. Students are required to complete 12 weeks of approved work experience.

Combined degrees for Civil & Environmental Engineering are available with Arts (stream code 211), Economics (212), Finance (213), Mathematical & Computer Sciences (214), Science (215) and Laws (SATAC code 324111, stream code 108 - minimum 6.5 years full-time study). For the degree with Science, studies in science may be chosen from biological sciences, chemistry, geology, physics and mathematics.
