About Bachelor Of Engineering (civil) (honours) in Federation University Australia

It’s also civil engineers who work with other experts like builders, architects and clients to ensure that structures are safe, economical and environmentally-sound. You’ll find out how to prevent flooding, design irrigation systems, and build multistoreyed buildings. It’s these skills that may see you specialise in structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, transport engineering, water engineering or infrastructure management.

You’ll learn problem-solving skills, analytical skills and you’ll also understand the environmental, social and political aspects that will impact your career as a civil engineer. In the final year of the course you will have the opportunity to undertake a specialisation in structural or water and wastewater engineering

As a professional civil engineer you will oversee teams of engineering technologists and skilled trade staff to construct the designs that you have created. You will work at a theoretical level to isolate, analyse and define a required engineering outcome.

You will be responsible for the planning, design and construction of all types of structures including multi storied building complexes, roads and railways, airports, towers, bridges, pipelines, gas and water supply systems, sewerage systems, dams, harbours and more. Civil engineers also plan, design and test the structures of private and public buildings and facilities.

You will work from an architect's drawings and consider whether the chosen materials for a particular building will be strong enough to hold a structure of that height or design. It is the responsibility of the civil engineer to produce safe, economical and environmentally sound structures.
