Aim

The Master of Engineering (Civil and Transport) aims to provide graduates and current practitioners with an advanced level of knowledge and skills in a range of areas relevant to the transport sector of Civil Engineering.

Content & Structure

The program requires completion of 27 units of course work and 9 units of research in transport engineering. On completion of these courses students should be able to:

Apply and synthesise traffic and transport engineering theories in solving practical cases
Create and design models to be used in traffic signal analysis and transport planning
Evaluate and conduct traffic accident investigations
Adapt transport data analysis methods at advanced level
Integrate ITS technology and consolidate GIS applications in forming comprehensive traffic management systems
Develop advanced skills to communicate with transport related professionals

Rules & notes

Rules

1. No credit is available in this program. Where students have previously completed a similar course in another program, they may be granted permission to substitute an alternative course with the agreement of the Program Director.

Notes

1. Civil Engineering Research Project must be taken in the final semester of a student's program. It is offered in both Study Period 2 and 5 each year. Students who commence the program mid-year will take all 3 of the 4.5 unit courses shown in SP5 as well as Case Studies in Transport, which is offered in each Study Period. In SP2 these students will take Civil Engineering Research Project, Traffic Engineering and either Spatial Analysis and Modelling OR Research Data Analysis.
