About

Highlights

Demand for engineers with skills in sustainable infrastructure will continue to increase with Australia's commitment to invest $120 billion in infrastructure over the next 10 years (Queensland Government, Department of Energy and Public Works).
Consult on a real industry challenge working directly with employers such as Energy Queensland, Powerlink, City Councils, Department of Transport and Main Roads, Queensland Rail, SEQ Waters, Urban Utilities and leading civil engineering and professional services firms.
Learn to forecast impending infrastructure problems and provide smart, cost-effective and environmentally responsible solutions that support a sustainable society.
The 2032 Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games has generated a significant pipeline of construction, trade and investment opportunities as well as a growth in sustainable infrastructure demands to support a climate-positive Games (Budget 2023-24: Ministers for the Department of Infrastructure).

The future of engineering is sustainable. Sustainability specialists are in the top 2 careers predicted to have the highest job growth globally by 2027 (World Economic Forum Future of Jobs Report, 2023).

Sustainable infrastructure underpins the liveability and productivity of every major city and regional community through effective transport and communications infrastructure, versatile buildings, water and gas systems.

This course provides you with the ability to lead and contribute to complex sustainable infrastructure projects and respond rapidly and effectively to current and emerging local and global challenges, such as impacts of climate change, pollution, and rapid urbanisation on civil infrastructure.

You will consult on real industry challenges with a range of transport, water, and manufacturing employers to develop cost-effective and environmentally responsible infrastructure solutions for future cities. Some of our key partnerships include Energy Queensland, Powerlink, Brisbane City Council, Department of Transport and Main Roads, SEQ Waters and Urban Utilities.
