Overview
The civil construction industry is booming and there is strong demand for site supervisors and project managers. This course develops the fundamental technical and practical skills needed for these roles in the civil construction industry.
The course is suited to school leavers or those with a trade qualification who are looking to enter the industry or progress their careers to a supervisory or management level.
It has a focus on developing both practical and technical engineering skills, particularly around familiarity with technology, and includes a strong work-integrated learning component.
This course is also a pathway to further study in the Bachelor of Engineering Systems (Honours), with the opportunity to major in Construction Engineering as part of the Civil Engineering specialisation in that degree, developing the skills and expertise necessary to work as a professional engineer in the civil construction industry.
| Course Learning Outcome |
|---|
Exercise critical judgement to identify problems and contribute to their solutions in a range of civil construction engineering and management settings. |
Exercise creative thinking to develop strategies to resolve issues and identify solutions in a range of civil construction engineering and management settings. |
Apply ethical and sustainable values and practices within a range of civil construction engineering and management contexts. |
Demonstrate a broad theoretical knowledge of underpinning science and mathematics within a range of contexts in the field of civil construction engineering and management. Apply relevant technical and practical skills to solve well-defined problems in the field of civil construction engineering and management. |
Demonstrate responsibility and accountability for own learning and work in broad civil construction engineering and management contexts. |
Communicate information, concepts and solutions, individually and/or in a team, within a range of civil construction engineering and management contexts. |
Demonstrate an awareness of diverse cultural perspectives within a range of civil construction engineering and management contexts. |
The course includes a strong work-integrated learning component. You will need to undertake at least three seven-week work placements. Ideally, students will complete the entire course while working in industry, although this is not mandatory.
There are no major areas of study, however you will be able to choose the equivalent of one elective unit in an area of interest or specialisation.
