Civil engineering deals with the design, construction and improvement of the built environment. Civil engineers provide the technical expertise and management skills to plan, design, construct, and maintain such facilities as buildings, bridges, dams, water supply systems, waste treatment systems, road and rail networks, air and sea ports.

Civil engineering offers a creative and rewarding career for men and women in many different areas which are essential to modern civilisation. Currently career prospects for civil engineers are good, both in Australia and overseas. Because civil engineers are responsible for many of Australia's essential services, they will continue to be needed in considerable numbers for the foreseeable future.

Note:
* In addition to the above sequence, the successful completion of HED400 Professional Experience in Engineering is required for the award of the above degree and can be taken at any stage of the course.

* Students have the option to do Industry-Based Learning (IBL) for six to 12 months in Year 3 Semester 2. A fee will apply for this option. IBL can be used to fulfil the requirements of HED400.

Malaysian students are required by the Ministry of Higher Education to successfully complete the Compulsory Subjects (Mata Pelajaran Wajib) prior to graduation.

This course equips graduates for careers as planners, designers, construction managers, administrators, investigation and research engineers and consultants. They work for public authorities, municipalities, consulting firms and industry, or are self-employed.

Civil engineering is also an excellent preparation for many general managerial positions in business and industry, not directly related to civil engineering.
