Program Overview

Civil Engineering Major (M ProEng)

Overview

This course is designed for graduates from a four-year Engineering undergraduate degree not accredited by Engineers Australia in a related discipline. The course is not suitable for graduates of a four-year undergraduate degree, with Engineers Australia accreditation in the same discipline. Those holding an EA accredited qualification and seeking a masters level qualification in the same discipline are encouraged to consider applying for entry to the Master of Philosophy or Master of Engineering Management.


Applicants seeking entry who do not hold a four year Engineering degree are required to first complete the one-year Graduate Diploma in Professional Engineering.


Course Outline

Qualification

Civil Engineering Major (M ProEng)


Credit

A full-time study load usually consists of 200 credits (approximately eight units) per year, with 100 credits (approximately four units) in each semester.


Course Structure

The course covers civil engineering materials, analysis and design principles, numerical methods, geotechnical principles and foundation, water resources engineering and management, and structural health monitoring. It also includes risk analysis and management, construction cost and project management, and environmental engineering management.


Laboratory Facilities

The laboratory facilities allow you to test the strength and other properties of different materials and structures. These include testing of construction materials such as concrete, steel, soil and rocks, and examination of structural behaviour under static and dynamic loading in earthquake engineering and pavement/geotechnology.


Professional Practice

During the course, you will gain at least 12 weeks of exposure to engineering professional practice and keep a formal log book to record your experience.
