This accredited course provides the knowledge, skills and hands-on experience you need to become a work-ready civil and environmental engineer Through laboratory sessions, field trips, individual projects and design classes, you will embed the knowledge from your lectures and tutorials and develop your practical abilities in surveying and design. You will choose from a range of authentic, real-world engineering problems and industry-focused scenarios, to work on both individually and with student engineers from other disciplines. This group work mirrors the relationships of an engineering team and will help you to build professional skills, such as teamwork and communication.
