About this course

Overview

This double degree is an extended, optional program for engineering students. It is designed to enhance your expertise and give you the ideal skillsets for greater career options in energy and mining industries.

In addition to expertise in civil and construction engineering, you'll gain detailed knowledge of mining engineering, learning aspects of surface and underground mining, materials handling and mining methods.

Building upon your civil and construction engineering skills, you'll complete one year of your course at Curtin Kalgoorlie (usually your fourth year). Here, you'll gain an fundamental understanding of mining industry operations - including management of people and resources, health and safety, and environmental conservation.

How this course will make you industry ready

You'll complete substantial exposure to professional engineering practice, through work experience or technical and non-technical activities.
