About the course

Course Description:

Civil engineering involves 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 that are essential to modern civilisation. 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.

Swinburne also offers a double degree in Bachelor of Engineering (Civil Engineering)/Bachelor of Commerce.

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

Course Structure:

Units of Study :

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.

Employment Outcomes

Career opportunities:

Civil engineers work 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.

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.
