What is Civil Engineering?

Civil engineers design, build and manage roads, buildings, water supply and storage systems, wastewater systems, transport systems, and bridges while taking into consideration any social, environmental, and financial constraints.

They are responsible for the infrastructure and resources that are essential for the daily functioning of cities, towns and rural areas.

Why study Civil Engineering at Flinders?

• All our Engineering awards have been designed in close collaboration with industry in order to meet future development needs. Students gain specialist knowledge in key areas and an integrated tool kit of skills that will enable them to meet the technical criteria required by industry and to engage professionally with on-going technical developments. 

• The first year of this award is similar to the first year of our other Engineering awards allowing students to transfer between awards with minimal loss of time. For students without the necessary prerequisites, the Bachelor of Engineering Science award provides a pathway into this award.
  

• We have an international reputation for our teaching, student support programs/services and research.

Professional recognition

This is a new course. It is expected that it will meet the requirements for graduate membership of Engineers Australia and the Institution of Civil Engineers (UK).
