Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Civil Engineering
University of Wollongong, Wollongong, NSW, Australia
About this program
A four-year Engineers Australia-accredited degree run through the School of Civil, Mining and Environmental Engineering. Students get access to the SMART Infrastructure Facility's transport and infrastructure modelling research, and the degree includes a mandatory minimum 12 weeks of industrial experience, which the school helps place, often with Illawarra-region firms doing heavy industry, port, or rail infrastructure work given the area's industrial history around the steelworks and Port Kembla.
Structural, geotechnical, water, and transport engineering are the core specialisation threads, and the thesis project in the final year is usually tied to a live industry or research problem rather than a hypothetical brief.
