Master of Engineering (Civil)

Disruptive technology is reshaping industries on a global scale, and civil engineering is no exception. Robotics, 3D printing and big data means infrastructure is developed faster, better and more sustainably. Employers need engineers with relevant skills and experience with emerging technology. La Trobe's Master of Engineering (Civil) was developed in consultation with industry leaders to help meet this demand. The use of computers and software to design and improve structures will help to understand how to integrate the design and physics of buildings and structures to make them safe and long-lasting.

You will gain an understanding of Australian engineering industry sustainability practices and build attributes required to make a successful transition from university to the world of work and learn about the quality and nature of materials so you can choose the most appropriate ones for your project. You'll gain technical knowledge and learn methods of civil engineering, including mechanics and principles of design as well as build software skills using tools such as Python, MATLAB, AutoCAD, CAM, FEA and CFD.
