Course list for the Civil and Environmental Engineering Dual Major
Information valid for students commencing 2020
Civil and Environmental Engineering
This course list contains information for pre-2021 BE (Hons) students only. It is recommended that students go to the transition checklists for course information, as a number of courses may now be renamed, recoded or unavailable due to the program re-structure in 2021. Approved substitutions for your courses can be found in the relevant checklist . Please view the Faculty website for further information.
If you commenced the BE(Hons) in 2021 please follow the 2021 structure.
Available in the dual major only. Students must complete for the BE(Hons)(Civil and Environmental Engineering Plan code: CIENVW2342), 64 units comprising:
- 56 to 58 units, being all courses from part A - compulsory, and
- 2 to 4 units from a combination of parts B1 and B2- electives; and
- 4 units from electives
Students will be required to provide their own PPE (safety glasses and steel cap boots) .
