Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering (Honours) - Environmental Fluids

The Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Civil) will develop your comprehensive ability to plan, design and test structures within the built and natural environments. A suite of embedded professional skills will equip you to contribute to infrastructure that improves lives in Australia and worldwide. As a civil engineering student, you will learn from leading experts about how to manage the design and construction of crucial modern infrastructure, including buildings, roads, transport and railways, bridges, tunnels, dams and ports, as well as systems for managing water, irrigation, sewage and floodwaters. Complementing this technical knowledge will be a range of professional skills in management, finance and problem solving. Throughout this four-year degree you will study a series of core units as you master the foundations of civil engineering, before specialising in an optional major. In your second year, a surveying camp will allow you to develop your technical skills in a practical, team-based environment. In your fourth year you will undertake further specialised civil engineering subjects and complete an embedded honours thesis. It enables you to design a research project in an area that interests you. As part of your degree you will undertake the award-winning Professional Engagement Program enabling you to change your approach to learning through self-reflection and extra-curricular activities throughout your degree.Our Environmental Fluids specialisation explores areas relating to environmental solutions to man-made problems, ocean and coastal engineering, water resources and hydrology and environmental geotechnics. Environmental engineers are concerned with protecting the environment by assessing the impact a project has on the air, water, soil and noise levels in its vicinity. They define and document long term problems that may be caused by accidents, such as oil spills.As a graduate of our Environmental Fluids specialisation, you will be equipped with the technical skills to plan and design equipment and processes for the treatment and safe disposal of waste material in addition to directing the conservation and wise use of natural resources. You may also be involved in research and development of alternative energy sources, water reclamation, waste treatment and recycling.
