Aim
The program aims to prepare students for a professional career in Civil Engineering and Water Resources Management with emphasis on project-based and industry focussed learning for sustainable development of water-related infrastructure.
Content & Structure
The first two years of the program provide a broad base in engineering and science courses needed for civil engineering careers as well as providing hands on experience in areas such as concrete technology and surveying, and an introduction to the main specialisations available in civil engineering. In third year students focus in detail on the disciplines of structural, water and wastewater, geotechnical and environmental engineering – and their interaction with the environment. Fourth year provides students with the opportunity to specialise in the area of Water Resources Management in a civil engineering context. Total units to complete the program are 144. It is possible to complete this program in less than four years by undertaking courses offered during study periods 1, 4 and 7. This accelerated option will be offered by the program director to students who achieve outstanding grades in the first year.
Students who successfully complete this program have the opportunity to gain credit for four courses if they successfully apply to enter the Master of Water Resources Management (LMWM), which they can then complete after graduation from the Bachelor’s degree with an additional year of full-time study.
