Engineering (Civil Engineering), Bachelor (Hons)

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) is a four-year specialized degree aimed at developing graduates with essential knowledge, technical expertise, and practical skills for modern engineering. It is structured around Engineers Australia Stage 1 Competencies, integrating coursework with work-integrated learning, co-curricular activities, and professional skills training.

Civil engineering deals with the planning, design, construction and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including roads, bridges, buildings, coastal and offshore structures, drainage and flood mitigation systems, canals and dams. Sub-disciplines include geotechnical engineering, earthquake engineering, structural engineering, surveying, construction engineering and transportation engineering. The Civil Engineering major at UWA provides you with a strong foundation in structural mechanics, geomechanics, rock mechanics and hydraulics, as well as skills in the area of civil engineering materials, data analysis and management, design, numerical methods, computational modelling, risk, reliability and safety analysis, and project management. It also develops some of the essential personal and professional skills and knowledge needed for sustainable professional practice and to produce safe, economical and environmentally-sound structures. You will apply engineering theory to real-world challenges, including industry projects.
