Bachelor of Engineering (Civil and Infrastructure) (Honours)
Blended learning – on-campus and digital learning
This course is only available to University of Baghdad students by invitation. No applications are accepted for this course.
Civil and infrastructure engineers are concerned with the design, construction and improvement of our built environment and sustainability is a key consideration. The Bachelor of Engineering (Civil and Infrastructure) (Honours) provides students with the technical expertise and management skills needed to plan, design, construct and maintain infrastructure such as buildings, bridges, dams, water supply systems, waste treatment systems, road and rail networks, airports and seaports. It teaches comprehensive engineering theory and offers students hands-on practical design experience. Students apply their learning in a professionally focused, multidisciplinary project during their third year of study. They also undertake at least 12 weeks of relevant work experience and can choose to complete postgraduate-level elective units.

International students in Australia who hold student visas are required to study full-time and on campus. Courses that are taught entirely online are only available to international students studying outside Australia or those in Australia who are not on a student visa. Online courses are not available to international students in Australia who hold a student visa.
Course structure
Units normally carry 12.5 credit points. In each academic year, eight units normally constitute a full-time load of 100 credit points. The typical full-time student's average weekly workload during semester is expected to be 50 hours of personal study and class attendance time. Class attendance time includes lectures, classes, tutorials, flexible learning, laboratory and field sessions, and will vary in different semesters.
- 12 core units of study (150 credit points)
- 16 units of study from the engineering discipline major in Civil and Infrastructure (200 credit points)
- 4 units of electives (50 credit points)
- EAT20008 Professional Experience in Engineering (compulsory no-credit unit)
Students may not complete more than 150 credit points (normally 12 units) at Introductory Level.
Honours merit calculation will be based on the averaged results of 12 units in the final two years of the course with the following descriptive outcomes:
- BEng (Civil and Infrastructure) (Hons) with High Distinction; for students who achieve ≥ 80
- BEng (Civil and Infrastructure) (Hons) with Distinction; for students who achieve 70 – 79
- BEng (Civil and Infrastructure) (Hons) with Credit; for students who achieve 60 – 69
- BEng (Civil and Infrastructure) (Hons); for students who achieve < 60
Students who transfer with advanced standing are required to undertake at least nine of these units at Swinburne, including all six outcome units, to qualify for an honours merit calculation. This honours merit calculation will be based only on units completed at Swinburne. If a student has not completed at least nine of the specified units, they will graduate with a BEng (Civil and Infrastructure) (Hons) as an award title, but not be eligible for a merit based honours description.
The following units will be used in the honours merit calculation:
- CIE40000 Foundation Engineering*
- CIE40001 Sanitary & Environmental Engineering*
- CIE40003 Final Year Research Project 1 (Civil & Infrastructure) *
- CIE40004 Final Year Research Project 2 (Civil & Infrastructure) *
- CVE30001 Urban Water Resources
- CVE30002 Design of Steel Structures
- CVE30003 Transport Engineering
- CVE30004 Cost Engineering
- CVE40002 Structural Design of Low Rise Buildings *
- CVE40006 Infrastructure Design Project *
- MME30002 Engineering Management Project
- MME40001 Engineering Management 2
