Bachelor of Engineering (Civil and Environmental) and Bachelor of Arts
B.E(CE)&BA
|
| Location: | North Terrace Campus |
| Duration: | 5 years
(full-time or
part-time equivalent)
|
| Degree/Award: | Combined Degree |
Civil and Environmental Engineering is concerned with assessing and managing the effects of human activity on the natural and built environments. The goal is to do this in a sustainable manner. This ensures that we can provide adequate infrastructure and natural resources for current generations, without compromising the ability of future generations to do the same. Environmental engineers may be involved in environmental impact assessment, water resources management, pollution control, waste management or the planning and design of engineering facilities to minimise their impact on the environment.
The Bachelor of Arts (BA) is globally accepted as the program which provides most flexibility in study choices for students. The BA suits students who are interested in the big picture, finding answers to burning questions, understanding human behaviours, cultures and history, and exploring new or existing areas of study. Students specialise in areas of their choice by taking a 'major' (from one of 25 areas) and potentially a 'minor' (from a range of areas). This study plan gives students depth of knowledge and skills in a specialised field, while having breadth of understanding in other areas.
Regardless of their specialisation, all BA students build skills that are highly valued by a variety of employers, such as the ability to find creative solutions to problems, researching and analysing information, the capacity for lifelong learning, and effectively communicating at many levels. These attributes mean students can adapt to different challenges that they might face in their future careers, studies and daily lives.
Students may complete the single degree of Bachelor of Engineering/Arts in five years of full-time study (with some overload). In addition to the program of study for Engineering, students complete 12 units at level I from any Humanities and Social Science discipline and a major sequence. Please contact the School of Engineering for further information.

| Specialisations |
|
Students should take at least two courses from the one group. The remaining may be chosen from any group. Alternatively, students may take up to 3 units of Level II or III courses offered by the School of Mathematical Sciences. In special circumstances other combinations of specialisation courses may be acceptable but must be approved by the Head of School. Students may also, with the approval of the Head of School, replace one or more specialisation courses with appropriate courses offered by other schools in the University. The specialisation courses offered by the School in any one year will depend on staff availability, and will be chosen from the following: Group II: Geotechnical Engineering
Group III: Water Engineering
Group IV: Management Engineering
Group V: Environmental Engineering
