Civil and infrastructure engineers are concerned with the design, construction and improvement of our built environment and sustainability is a key consideration. The Bachelor of Engineering (Civil and Infrastructure) (Honours) provides students with the technical expertise and management skills needed to plan, design, construct and maintain infrastructure such as buildings, bridges, dams, water supply systems, waste treatment systems, road and rail networks, airports and seaports. It teaches comprehensive engineering theory and offers students hands-on practical design experience. Students apply their learning in a professionally focused, multidisciplinary project during their third year of study. They also undertake at least 12 weeks of relevant work experience and can choose to complete postgraduate-level elective units.

1. apply coherent and advanced knowledge of civil and infrastructure engineering in diverse contexts and applications using critical thinking and judgement
2. apply knowledge of research principles and methods to plan and execute a piece of research with some independence, as preparation for research higher degrees
3. apply problem solving, design and decision-making methodologies to identify and provide innovative solutions to complex problems with intellectual independence
4. apply abstraction, mathematics and civil engineering fundamentals to analyse and design the operation of a model, using appropriate engineering methods and tools
5. communicate proficiently in professional practice to a variety of audiences, function as an effective member or leader of a diverse team, and use the basic tools and practices of project management within project work
6. demonstrate professionalism, integrity, ethical conduct, professional accountability and an awareness of professional engineering practice in a global and sustainable context
7. reflect on and take responsibility for their own learning and self-management processes, and manage their own time and processes effectively by regularly reviewing of personal performance as a means of managing continuing professional development and lifelong learning.
