What will I learn?

Curtin’s Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) offers you an industry-connected education experience in which you will learn how to devise engineering solutions for complex societal and industry challenges.

Your study will begin with the Engineering Foundation Year (EFY). You'll learn the fundamental concepts and develop the required skills common to all areas of engineering – giving you the opportunity to explore our range of engineering disciplines before choosing the major that you'll focus on from your second year.

What you'll learn

Demonstrate a conceptual understanding of applied science, computing, and engineering.

Use underpinning science, engineering, and sustainability principles to solve complex social and industrial challenges.

Design and implement engineering solutions in a safe, ethical, legal, professional, and through respectful partnerships with local First Peoples and other diverse cultures as globally responsible citizens.

Assess the available scientific and engineering knowledge and undertake applied research in the broad engineering field.

Employ the technologies and knowledge to develop and communicate effective and innovative engineering solutions to complex problems.

Develop lifelong learning habits, teamwork and leadership abilities, and project management skills.

Learn how to design and construct the contemporary infrastructure needed by communities and industry.

Civil engineers design and construct our infrastructure. They are key members of teams involved in the design and construction of buildings, bridges, roads and highways, harbours, dams, irrigation and water supplies, municipal infrastructure and other large structures and projects.

As our built environment becomes increasingly complicated, ambitious construction projects can only be completed by teams of people with different skills, working together. The civil engineer is central to this process.

In this course, you will develop basic scientific, mathematical and practical skills. You'll learn how to use these skills to solve engineering problems and then to develop your civil engineering capabilities.

You’ll learn to apply these skills in structural analysis and design, geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering, hydraulics, construction and professional practice.

In your final year, you’ll integrate your design, construction and management skills in large civil engineering projects; undertake a major civil engineering research project; and select units from specialty options in the areas of structural, geotechnical, transportation, water resources and environmental engineering.
