What will I learn?

The Engineering/Commerce double degree is an extended, optional program for engineering students. It is designed to further develop your business skills, giving you an added level of experience to take into the first stage of your engineering career after you graduate. In your first year you will complete the Engineering Foundation Year (EFY).The EFY was developed in partnership with industry to give you a solid base of the fundamental concepts common to all areas of engineering and reflect current engineering practice.This double degree will develop your business knowledge and practical commerce skills to give you an advantage for a diverse range of careers. You will study six common core units (accounting, economics, information systems, business law, management and marketing) to gain an introduction to the various aspects of business before starting your business major.You'll develop communication skills and key professional skills identified by employer groups. You may also receive career guidance and study overseas. A unique element of this course is the Business capstone unit you'll complete in your final year. You'll run a simulated multi-million dollar company, applying your skills and knowledge to reinforce your learning while providing workplace deliverables.Civil engineers design and construct our infrastructure. They are key members of teams involved in the design and construction of buildings, bridges, roads and highways, harbours, dams, irrigation and water supplies, municipal infrastructure and other large structures and projects. As our built environment becomes increasingly complicated, ambitious construction projects can only be completed by teams of people with different skills, working together. The civil engineer is central to this process. In this course, you will develop basic scientific, mathematical and practical skills. You'll learn how to use these skills to solve engineering problems and then to develop your civil engineering capabilities. Youll learn to apply these skills in structural analysis and design, geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering, hydraulics, construction and professional practice. In your final year, youll integrate your design, construction and management skills in large civil engineering projects undertake a major civil engineering research project and select units from specialty options in the areas of structural, geotechnical, transportation, water resources and environmental engineering.
