This major acts as a pathway to a career in civil engineering. Civil engineering involves the planning, design and construction of the built environment and the provision of essential services and infrastructure.
Civil engineers are required to be at the forefront of technology with a breadth of knowledge and experience in the areas of construction of the built environment, which includes structures such as buildings, bridges and
tunnels. Similarly, transport systems, water supply, drainage systems, ports and harbours are all examples of essential services where civil engineers are vital in providing the most effective way of interacting with the natural environment.
This system major can lead to a professionally accredited Master of Engineering (Civil) or a Master of Engineering (Structural).
Studies in this discipline are also available via the Bachelor of Engineering or the Bachelor of Environments.
