Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering (Honours) - Transport

The University of Sydney

The Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Civil) will develop your comprehensive ability to plan, design and test structures within the built and natural environments. A suite of embedded professional skills will equip you to contribute to infrastructure that improves lives in Australia and worldwide. As a civil engineering student, you will learn from leading experts about how to manage the design and construction of crucial modern infrastructure, including buildings, roads, transport and railways, bridges, tunnels, dams and ports, as well as systems for managing water, irrigation, sewage and floodwaters. Complementing this technical knowledge will be a range of professional skills in management, finance and problem solving. Throughout this four-year degree you will study a series of core units as you master the foundations of civil engineering, before specialising in an optional major. In your second year, a surveying camp will allow you to develop your technical skills in a practical, team-based environment. In your fourth year you will undertake further specialised civil engineering subjects and complete an embedded honours thesis. It enables you to design a research project in an area that interests you. As part of your degree you will undertake the award-winning Professional Engagement Program enabling you to change your approach to learning through self-reflection and extra-curricular activities throughout your degree.Our Transport Engineering specialisation will provide you with the essential skills to plan, design, operate and manage infrastructure to achieve safe, economical and environmentally-sustainable movement of people and goods. This specialisation is designed to cover traditional mathematical and engineering methods, while considering and examining multidisciplinary issues such as environmental and social impact, economics and public policy. It also delves into the principles of efficient transport network design, transport modelling and system analysis as well as projective planning and the implications of emergent transport technologies and systems.As a graduate of our Transport Engineering specialisation, you will be able to work in the planning, design, construction, management or operation of road, rail, air or sea infrastructure and systems anywhere in the world. Your career options might include management, engineering or analytical roles with government agencies leading consulting firms in transport and infrastructure freight and maritime organisations and bus, rail and aviation companies.
