Subject descriptions
Civil Engineering has been taught at the University of Melbourne since 1860. From an initial certificate course, the demands of the profession have seen the development of not only a single degree in Civil Engineering in 1893, but also recently, combined degrees - Civil Engineering with Commerce, Science, Arts or Law.
Civil engineering is a diverse and broad-ranging discipline concerned with designing and constructing the national infrastructure. Civil engineers are concerned with sustainable development and environmental management, and in most activities they work as part of an interdisciplinary team, often as the team leader, utilising their project management skills. Civil engineers may work as 'general practitioners' or they may specialise in the sub-disciplines of structural, geotechnical, water resources, coastal, transport engineering or construction.
The BE degree in Civil Engineering comprises a core of compulsory subjects complemented by electives in each year of the course. First and second year concentrate on developing an understanding of 'engineering sciences' aspects of engineering: this is done through subjects that include mathematics, computing, solid and fluid mechanics, material behaviour and surveying. These subjects are supported with introductory courses in design and engineering management.
In third and fourth years the primary focus is on the application of engineering theory in the areas of hydraulics and water resources, geomechanics and foundations, structures and transport. Studies in management and construction are also mandatory.
A large part of the compulsory core in fourth year is devoted to design. Also included is a substantial research project. Over forty percent of final year involves electives drawn from within the Department or from elsewhere within the University.
Following a long tradition in teaching and research of land and water management and environmental issues, the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering has consolidated its undergraduate offerings in this important area by offering a degree stream in Environmental Engineering.
The objective of the course in Environmental Engineering is to graduate professional engineers with leadership qualities in engineering aspects of land and water management and environmental assessment, and skills in surface and groundwater hydrology, hydrogeology, irrigation engineering and water supply, land reclamation and sediment, nutrient and solute transport. Such engineers should be able to converse scientifically with biologists, ecologists and resource managers, have analytical, synthesis and numerical skills, and have experience in computing, field and laboratory techniques relating to natural resources. With these skills, graduates will be able to play a leading role in developing engineering solutions with an ecologically sustainable context.
The course prepares engineers to carry out land and water engineering works in a manner that is sympathetic to the natural environment. The first year of the Environmental Engineering stream is flexible, but contains a solid grounding in mathematics, chemistry and basic engineering. Second year develops themes from first year to introduce basic engineering science concepts in mechanics, fluid flow and thermodynamics and materials, together with the philosophy of design, and builds on the first year courses in computing and management. The Environmental Engineering emphasis is introduced through specialist subjects, including environmental geomorphology.
In third year, the development of mathematics and statistics continues, along with fluid flow and geomechanics. Relevant designs are carried out in all areas. The development of management, engineering economics and communication skills is emphasised and the environmental engineering theme is continued through soil science and environmental politics and management. In fourth year, in addition to design and a major research project, four themes are developed in management and communication, hydrology, water management and land management.
The courses shown below for years one and two are based on a structure being adopted by all Faculties, in which most subjects carry 12.5 points. (A small number of subjects carry 6.25 or 25 points).
This structure is new for the Faculty of Engineering and is being introduced in 1999 for years one and two. Students taking combined degree courses and who intend to overlap 2nd and later year subjects, should consult with course advisers to ensure all core engineering requirements are met.
