Aim
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Civil) uses an industry focused, project-based teaching and learning approach to develop professional civil engineers who are well prepared to work in diverse, interdisciplinary teams to solve complex problems in a socially and culturally appropriate manner.
Content & Structure
The program consists of a common first year across all Engineering disciplines. The first two years of the program provide an introduction to the main areas available in civil engineering, a broad base in engineering, science, and maths, as well as other skills such as design, problem solving, team work and communication that are essential for professional practice as an engineer. In third year students focus in detail on structural, water and geotechnical engineering - and their interaction with the environment. Third year continues the professional practice development through a focus on business management knowledge required by engineers. Half of fourth year is devoted to major projects, both design and research, with the remainder allowing students to choose from a range of advanced electives in their area of interest. Industry internship options are also available.

Notes
1. Not all electives will be offered every year. Other options not listed here may only be taken with the prior agreement of the Program Director.
2. To enrol in a course with a catalogue number starting with 5 (e.g. CIVE 5xxx), students need to apply for a career permission override via myEnrolment and gain approval first.
3. At least two of the four Major elective courses students enrol in during the final year must have a catalogue number starting with 4 (e.g. CIVE 4xxx).
4. With Program Director approval, students may enrol in Engineering Honours Project B Extended and complete an extended 9 unit project. Students will complete this course in lieu of Engineering Honours Project B and Engineering Capstone Experience B.
5. Students can also meet the Industrial Experience requirement of the program by completing a 13.5 unit or 18 unit Internship placement. Contact the Program Director for more information.
6. Students must enrol cross-institutionally in Remote Sensing: Photogrammetry (KGG330) with the University of Tasmania. Visit the Campus Central website for a link to the necessary form. On successful completion of the course, students must apply for credit for the course to be acknowledged towards their program. Application for credit details can also be found on the Campus Central website. In the event that the external course is unavailable in a given year, students will be directed to an alternate course by the Program Director.
7. Students are required to undertake a Major of their choice from the list provided and complete the courses in the sequence shown.
