The civil construction industry is booming and there is strong demand for site supervisors and project managers. This course develops the fundamental technical and practical skills needed for these roles in the civil construction industry.
The course is suited to school leavers or those with a trade qualification who are looking to enter the industry or progress their careers to a supervisory or management level.
It has a focus on developing both practical and technical engineering skills, particularly around familiarity with technology, and includes a strong work-integrated learning component.
This course is also a pathway to further study in the Bachelor of Engineering Systems (Honours), with the opportunity to major in Construction Engineering as part of the Civil Engineering specialisation in that degree, developing the skills and expertise necessary to work as a professional engineer in the civil construction industry.
Award Requirements
To be eligible to receive the Associate Degree of Civil Construction (Engineering and Management), students must complete the equivalent of 192 credit points, comprising:
- 25 core units (180 credit points), and
- 1 elective unit (12 credit points).
Exit Points
Students may be eligible to exit with a Diploma of Civil Construction (Engineering and Management) after completing the equivalent of 96 credit points.
