Overview
This major prepares you to become a civil engineer by combining contemporary theory with industry-led projects. You’ll build the skills to confidently design, construct and maintain the built infrastructure systems that are essential to everyday life. Learn to apply scientific and engineering principles to solve complex problems and develop innovative solutions that benefit both organisations and the wider community. Throughout the major, you’ll explore a diverse range of civil engineering disciplines, including structural, water, geotechnical and transportation engineering, as well as civil engineering materials.

~ It is recommended that students undertake SEJ441 and SEJ446 in consecutive trimesters.
^ Students are encouraged to complete this unit in Trimester 3 of the third year of study. Must have successfully completed STP010 Career Tools for Employability (0 credit point unit)
# Students who have not completed VCE Mathematical Methods (or equivalent), will be required to undertake the unit SIT190 in the first trimester of their Engineering course.
+ Students enrolled online for these units are required to attend campus-based activities during the corresponding intensive activities in a trimester. Attendance at campus-based activities is linked to assessment requirements within the engineering programs, failure to attend will result in not meeting the hurdle requirement of the respective assessment. Thus, a fail grade shall be awarded for the respective affected unit(s) for that particular trimester.
