The field is intended to deliver Civil Engineering graduates with the necessary skills and knowledge to develop a depth of knowledge across the Civil Engineering areas of: Water & Environmental; Structures; Transport; Geotechnical. Eligible students complete the first three years of the BE (Hons) (Civil Engineering) and then complete an additional two years of study where additional depth in the field is obtained. An 8-unit research project is taken across semester 1 & 2 of the final year and provides opportunity to undertake a significant research project. The 21st century is an era of great global and local challenges: climate change and the greenhouse effect, clean energy, reliable water supplies, infrastructure for booming populations, sustainable resource development, efficient and effective communications, to name but a few. These challenges create tremendous opportunities for a new generation of engineers. The BE(Hons)/ME in Civil Engineering will equip Civil engineers with the necessary skills to actively contribute to finding solutions to these challenges. Students will advance their Civil engineering knowledge and skills and demonstrate their learning through practice-focussed and advanced technical courses, experiential learning experiences, and research projects.
