Overview
This major aims to provide science students with the background knowledge necessary for a career in digital infrastructure engineering. Digital Infrastructure Engineering Systems is concerned with measurement, representation, analysis, management, retrieval and display of data concerning the design, delivery and operation of infrastructures, including digital infrastructures, to support sustainable development and climate adaptation. The principal disciplines embraced by Digital Infrastructure Engineering Systems include sensing and measurement, imaging, visualization, digital collaboration, and data management and analytics.
Careers and Further Study: After completion of a Design degree with a major in Digital Infrastructure Engineering Systems students can enter the workforce with their current skills or apply to commence a professional masters degree, especially the 2-year long Master of Digital Infrastructure Engineering.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this major, students should be able to:
- Ability to apply digital systems to design needs-based measurement, modelling, and representation of infrastructures;
- Critical thinking, judgement and technical skills in the aesthetic and purposeful design of digital representation on infrastructures;
- Sound fundamental understanding of the mathematical, geodetical, and computational principles underlying digital representation of infrastructures;
- A broad knowledge base of their chosen discipline and of other disciplines, such as computing and civil engineering;
- Ability to facilitate effective communication with those other professionals with whom digital infrastructure engineers routinely communicate, such as in construction, planning, asset management, real estate, insurance, law, or the media;
- Ability to apply the basic principles underlying the management of physical, human and financial resources;
- Mathematical and computational skills necessary for the solution of theoretical and practical problems;
- Verbal and written communication skills that enable them to contribute substantially to society;
- Lifelong learning skills for further professional development and for meeting future changes in technology;
- Commitment to professional ethics and responsibility towards the profession and the community;
- Interpersonal and management skills required by engineers in undertaking professional activities;
- Ability to enact the social, cultural and environmental responsibilities of the professional engineer, including those for sustainable development.
