Bachelor of Engineering (Civil and Environmental) Honours

This honours degree program focuses on civil engineering with a significant emphasis on environmental management. You will gain knowledge and skills essential for professional engineering practice, combining a strong theoretical foundation with practical problem-solving, teamwork, and project development. The curriculum is designed to equip you with analytical skills needed to lead complex projects. Areas of study include fundamental physical and engineering sciences, computer-aided design, engineering materials, and surveying. You will then delve into specialist civil and environmental engineering topics such as structural analysis, hydrology, hydraulics, construction management, and project management. Advanced studies cover environmental risk assessment, water and wastewater treatment, waste management, air pollution control, and sustainable engineering design principles. The first year offers common units across all engineering honours courses, providing flexibility to switch disciplines if desired.
