Civil Engineering is a broad-based discipline involving the planning, design, construction and management of a wide range of essential community infrastructure including, commercial and industrial buildings, water supply and wastewater systems, irrigation, drainage and flood protection systems, bridges, roads, highways and transportation systems, and port harbor and airport facilities.

The course philosophy is very much based on a recognition of society's need for well-rounded engineers who not only have sound technical and communication skills but also a good understanding of the environmental, economic, social and political environment in which they must operate.

The course is founded on a solid base of science and engineering fundamentals in the first two years, with emphasis then being given in years three and four to applied discipline-specific topics, design and project work. Substantial emphasis is given in a range of subjects to professionalism, ethics and community responsibility, team assignments, broad problem solving and communication skills, and the concepts of sustainability and sustainable engineering practices. A focus on local engineering examples, experiential learning and site visits, together with significant input from external industry-based lecturers, provides students with exposure to real world problems and is considered a motivational cornerstone of the course.

There are two major streams in structural and water engineering running through the course, complemented by minor streams in aeromechanics and transportation engineering. Environmental and management issues are covered in specific subjects but also more broadly by integration into a range of other subjects throughout the course. Subject streams are generally sequential within a well-defined structure. It is envisaged that this structure may be modified somewhat in the future with a view to further motivating students by allowing them a greater degree of flexibility and specialization, once a firm foundation has been established in the early years of the course. The incorporation of more flexibility should also allow students to remedy any perceived deficiencies in the more basic communication and technical skills.
Career Outcomes:

A wide range of careers involving planning, design, construction and engineering management in private industry or with government authorities.
