About Civil Engineering

Civil engineering is an international profession that involves the design, construction, operation and improvement of the built environment. Civil engineers provide the technical expertise and management skills to plan, design, construct, maintain and rehabilitation such facilities as buildings, bridges, dams, water supply systems, waste treatment systems, road and rail networks, air and sea ports in a sustainable manner to reduce the impact on the environment.

Civil engineering offers a creative and rewarding career for men and women in many different areas, which are essential to modern life. Currently career prospects for civil engineers are excellent, both in Australia and overseas with near 100% employment. Because Civil Engineers are responsible for many of Australia's essential services and infrastructure they will provide a vital role in the nation's future. The development and management of large infrastructure systems in a sustainable manner is emerging as a new challenge for Civil Engineering graduates.
