About Bachelor Of Engineering (honours) With A Major In Civil in Swinburne University of Technology

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) is designed to equip students with technical expertise and management skills in an engineering field of their choice.

Complete core units in your first year to assist in selecting a major. Explore options to undertake a study tour to Malaysia, Turkey or India to get hands-on practical experience and work with local communities.

Obtain theoretical and practical knowledge by participating in workshops and industry projects to prepare for roles in your chosen field across a range of industries. Apply your learning in a professionally focused, multidisciplinary project during your final year of study. Undertake at least 12 weeks of relevant professional experience.

Course learning outcomes

Students who successfully complete this course will be able to:

  • apply coherent and advanced knowledge of the chosen major in engineering in diverse contexts and applications using critical thinking and judgment
  • apply knowledge of research principles and methods to plan and execute a piece of research with some independence, as preparation for research higher degrees
  • apply problem solving, design and decision-making methodologies to identify and provide innovative solutions to complex problems with intellectual independence
  • apply abstraction, mathematics and engineering fundamentals to the analysis, design and operation of a model, using appropriate engineering methods and tools
  • communicate proficiently in professional practice to a variety of audiences, function as an effective member or leader of a diverse team, and use the basic tools and practices of project management within project work
  • demonstrate professionalism, integrity, ethical conduct, professional accountability and an awareness of professional engineering practice in a global and sustainable context
