Diploma of Civil Construction Design
TAFE NSW, Multi-campus, NSW, Australia
About this program
The Diploma of Civil Construction Design reflects the role of personnel working as designers or design para-professionals who support professional engineers. They perform tasks involving a high level of autonomy and requiring the application of significant judgement in planning and determining the selection of equipment, roles, and techniques for themselves and others.
They are required to develop site-specific work designs to ensure the implementation of the client's site requirements. They demonstrate the application of a broad range of technical, managerial, coordination and planning skills.
You will learn from the latest engineering packages including AutoCAD, CivilCAD, Revit, Strand 7, 12D, MS Project and DRAINS. Then you will use Building Information Modelling (BIM) to manage and share information.
