About the course

Course Description:

Combining engineering and commerce, this double degree is designed to increase student knowledge, skills and understanding of civil engineering principles and a fundamental knowledge of commerce studies.

The Units of Study offered within the Civil Engineering program are to achieve the following:

Program Objectives:

The following six objectives are the typical skills and abilities that Swinburne graduates will have a few years after graduation as they develop their professional engineer careers.

1) Manage complex Civil Engineering projects that are motivational, entrepreneurial, research and/or industry linked

2) Take leadership and mentoring roles during the design and implementation phases of Civil Engineering projects

3) Work in local and/or international organisations demonstrating an understanding of global engineering issues

4) Apply Civil Engineering technical expertise to industry-related fields

5) Work autonomously and in teams within organisations or as a consultant

6) Apply ethical standards, principles of design for sustainable development, and environmental consideration to conceptualising and

implementing industry-related projects

Program Outcomes:

At completion of their engineering program at Swinburne, graduates should be able to:

a) apply fundamental knowledge of engineering, mathematics and science
b) use the techniques, skills and modern tools in Civil Engineering to practice as a Civil Engineer
c) identify, formulate, solve and evaluate engineering problems
d) design and conduct experiments as well as to analyse and interpret data
e) identify and practice professional and ethical responsibility
f) design and develop engineering solutions to meet desired needs within realistic economic, environmental, social, ethical, health and

safety, manufacturing, and sustainability constraints
g) apply knowledge and skills that are demonstrably in demand by the industry
h) recognise the need for and to engage in lifelong learning
i) function and communicate effectively in multi-disciplinary teams

Industry Experience #
HED400 Professional Experience in Engineering, OR
Optional
HEW050 Industry-Based Learning (Placement 1)#
HEW055 Industry-Based Learning (Placement 2)#

Students studying on an international student visa must complete HED400 Professional Experience in Engineering. All other students may complete an Industry-Based Learning placement instead (exemption will be granted for HED400 on completion of IBL).

HED400 Professional Experience in Engineering: Equivalent of 12 full-time weeks of approved relevant engineering practical experience (0 credit points, 0 fees). To be taken at any stage during the degree.

HEW050 Industry-Based Learning (Placement 1), HEW055 Industry-Based Learning (Placement 2): Full-time paid placement in industry for 6 (HEW050) or 12 months (HEW050 & HEW055) in an area relevant to your studies (0 academic credit points, unit fees apply). Students should attend an information session one semester prior to the scheduled IBL entry point.

Education Abroad:

Swinburne offers International Exchange Programs as well as other Education Abroad Programs to help internationalise your degree. International Exchange is an academic program allowing you to study at a Swinburne Partner Institution for one or two semesters during your degree. Swinburne's Partner Institutions offer many relevant subjects as well as a secure base to explore a different culture. Your studies whilst on exchange can be credited towards your Swinburne degree, provided they are relevant and approved by Swinburne. For further information visit the Swinburne Abroad website.

Employment Outcomes

Career opportunities:

Graduates of this double degree course may select paths from either Engineering or Commerce, or both discipline areas. Graduates will have an advantage in the market place compared to those with single discipline degrees.

Professional recognition:

This program has also been professionally accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) Malaysia and Engineers Australia.
Graduates are eligible to apply for membership of Engineers Australia as well as Graduate Membership of Board of Engineers Malaysia.
