About this course

Study the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Civil Design) and Diploma of Building Design dual degree and become qualified for a career as a civil engineer skilled in high-level engineering design and building design. If you take advantage of the units offered in all three terms, you can fast track your studies and complete this course in four years. This course equips you with skills and knowledge in building design factors such as codes and statutes, building sustainability, and contracts together with foundational technical content in civil engineering. This course has a strong focus on learning in context so you will apply theory to authentic scenarios throughout your course including industry projects. As part of your studies, you will complete a major individual project that integrates both civil engineering skills and building design skills to confirm your ability to work as a civil engineer and a building design specialist.

Career pathways

As a professional engineer you can be a driver of change in society and be not only responsible for the technological change, but also the impact it has on communities, society and the environment in general. This course provides a unique opportunity to become a civil engineer with high-level engineering planning and design skills complemented by architectural planning and designs skills required for the approval and construction of a range of building types. Civil engineers are typically involved in planning design and maintenance of physical infrastructure systems including the construction of buildings and bridges, transport and water resource. Building designers provide design solutions for residential and commercial buildings and work for design, architecture, planning, building or engineering firms, government departments and corporations with a large building portfolio.
