Civil

Intended learning outcomes

On the successful completion of the Master of Engineering (Civil) students should have:

a) Gained advanced knowledge of the principles of civil engineering underpinning the provision of infrastructure;
b) Had the opportunity to develop research principles and methods in the field of civil engineering;
c) Cognitive skills to demonstrate mastery of theoretical knowledge and to reflect critically on theory and professional practice of civil engineering;
d) Cognitive, technical and creative skills to investigate, analyse and synthesise complex information, problems, concepts and theories and to apply established theories to different bodies of knowledge of civil engineering;
e) Communication and technical research skills to justify and interpret theoretical propositions, methodologies, conclusions, to professional engineering and non-engineering audiences;
f) Technical and communication skills to design, evaluate, implement, analyse, theorise about developments that contribute to professional practice or scholarship in the field of civil engineering.

Graduates of the Master of Engineering (Civil) will demonstrate the application of knowledge and skills in the fields of infrastructure engineering with specific opportunity to study some sub-disciplines (structural, geotechnical, water) of civil engineering in greater depth:

g) With creativity and initiative to new situations in professional practice and/or for further learning;
h) With high level personal autonomy and accountability;
i) To plan and execute a substantial piece of scholarship.
