Bachelor of Engineering (Environmental) (Honours)/Master of Engineering (Civil)

Take advantage of being an in-demand environmental engineer, combining your knowledge to also be an accredited civil engineer. You will not only be able to develop practical solutions that will protect and improve the quality of our environment but also create innovative infrastructure design and construction solutions across the four main civil engineering themes of structures, transport, water and geomechanics. The double degree course provides the foundations that will underpin ongoing professional development, preparing graduates for further study or for a career in an engineering related field or in other areas where the range of skills and knowledge acquired is needed or desirable. This course is accredited by Engineers Australia at the level of professional engineer. Professional engineering courses accredited by Engineers Australia are recognised internationally under the Washington Accord. Graduates meet the academic requirements for attaining chartered professional engineering status.

This course has been designed to provide a strong foundation in both the theoretical and the practical aspects of civil and environmental engineering. An awareness of social, economic, cultural and environmental aspects are also central to this course. It provides an ability to critically analyse and evaluate information, solve problems and provides understanding of professional and ethical responsibilities and a commitment to them. Also included in the degree is a structured engineering work experience placement and an opportunity to undertake a substantial research-oriented project.

On completion of this degree students will be able to competently use professional skills and knowledge in the systematic development of complex civil and environmental engineering systems and demonstrate a broad understanding of the environmental engineering discipline.

Students will apply their skills and knowledge in a professionally responsible manner and be able to communicate effectively with other engineers and the wider global community using a wide range of communication technologies. Students will develop engineering solutions appropriate to the social, political, international, economic and environmental contexts in which they are applied and engage in the process of continuing learning needed to retain the necessary level of professional skills and knowledge in the area of civil and environmental engineering.
