Student will graduate as a well-rounded, qualified professional with a background in engineering and is eager to take advantage of a variety of opportunities in Australia and other countries.

Civil engineers provide to the needs of the people, and specialize in planning, building, constructing and maintaining buildings that impact on modern life. They understand how natural processes, including water and air, and how structures of all kinds can withstand loads. They work with buildings, bridges, roads, ports, dams, airports, coastal protection, water supply and public health. Civil engineers use their theoretical knowledge to produce efficient and economical institutions that excite the beauty and satisfy the needs of the community. They have mathematical and physics skills and a desire to meet environmental and technological challenges. Students can study in the fields of structural engineering, transportation engineering, geomechanics, hydrology and public health engineering, or administration, construction and economics.
