Your undergraduate degree will start with building a strong foundation in engineering before you move into your civil engineering major. From third year you will also start taking construction management courses such as construction scheduling and advanced construction management.
A significant portion of your honours year will then involve a major project supported by industry clients, or based in a research centre such as the Sustainable Infrastructure and Resource Management concentration.
You will also have the opportunity to complete a Civil Engineering Design Project where you will work on an industry project with an industrial representative as your client. You will work through the various stages of a project – from developing a tender, through to feasibility, concept development and detailed design.
Progressing through to your postgraduate studies you will learn about the strategic management of engineering operations as they relate to managing an engineering organisation. You can study topics such as:
- robotics and automation
- energy management
- enterprise resource planning
- project planning and control
- strategic procurement
The UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program will allow you to apply the skills and knowledge attained throughout your studies in real-world settings.
