About this course

Join the next generation of civil and structural engineering experts. This comprehensive qualification in civil and structural engineering will provide you with the skills and knowledge to work on projects ranging from skyscrapers to intricate road designs and expands your study of the design and construction of civil works such as dams, structures and pipe networks.

This course covers a range of engineering specialities including road, rail, and drainage systems, dams, harbours, bridges and buildings in order to extend your knowledge so that you can plan, design, develop and manage construction and repair projects relating to these disciplines.

You will learn a range of engineering drafting standards and receive exposure to computer-aided design (CAD) programs selected from AutoCAD, Microstation, Revit and 12D.

Gain skills in applying construction principles to civil engineering works, produce advanced engineering designs and drawings, 3-D CAD in engineering, and learn structural analysis in engineering.

This course will be delivered at East Perth and Perth campus. Specialised classrooms are available across both campus locations and classes will be scheduled to provide you access to these facilities. Your class locations will be provided at the commencement of each semester and detailed on your timetable. Transport between both campuses is free and you can catch either the bus or train.

After completing this course you can continue your education at university.
