Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Civil and Construction Management)

Course Overview

Construction Managers may supervise major design and construction projects from beginning to end. This degree will give you a head start in this competitive and highly sought after field. It is strongly hands-on, you will apply engineering theory to real-world challenges. In your final year, you'll do a major industry-related research project and a design project. You'll learn in our industry-standard specialist facilities such as the largest strong floor in the southern hemisphere and a 1200m long hydraulic testing facility and use high-tech testing and computer modelling equipment. Graduate career-ready by completing the UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program and gain at least 450 hours of skills and competencies through a range of engagement activities such as placements, internships, guest lectures, industry panels, site visits, networking and events. In your first year you will develop a strong, general foundation in engineering. You'll then move into your civil engineering major. From third year onwards you will also commence construction management courses, such as Construction Scheduling and Advanced Construction Management. At least half of your honours year involves a major project. Projects are generally supported by industry clients, or based in a research centre like the Scarce Resources and Circular Economy concentration. Our UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program allows you to apply the skills and knowledge you've acquired throughout your degree in real-world settings. You will also have the opportunity to undertake a Civil Engineering Capstone Design Project where you will work on a real project provided by industry with industrial representatives acting as your clients. You will work through the real-life stages of a project from developing a tender through to feasibility, concept development and detailed design.
