Your undergraduate degree will start by building a strong foundation in engineering before you move into your civil engineering major. You will gain practical experience and knowledge in areas such as:
- road design and traffic management
- surveying and spatial sciences
- soil mechanics
- hydraulics and hydrology
- geotechnical engineering
- reinforced concrete design
- structural engineering
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 Capstone 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.
