About this Degree

 
2008 | 2009

Bachelor of Engineering (Civil and Structural) with Bachelor of Mathematical and Computer Sciences B.E(Ci)/Ma
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 program has an emphasis on engineering problem solving and design and analysis using modern, computer-based methods. The first and second years of the program develop a knowledge of maths and science courses, with fundamental engineering and design courses. Third and fourth years include professional engineering courses, specialisations, communication and management courses and project work within the main areas of structural, geotechnical and water engineering. Students are required to complete 12 weeks of approved work experience.

Combined degrees for Civil & Structural Engineering are available with Arts (stream code 206), Civil & Environmental Engineering (250), Economics (207), Finance (208), Mathematical & Computer Sciences (209), Science (210) and Laws (SATAC code 324111, stream code 107 - minimum 6.5 years full-time study). For the combined degree with Science, studies in science may be chosen from biological sciences, chemistry, geology, physics and mathematics.
