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 study of economics at the University of Adelaide will help you understand how a market economy works. It will also help you to develop other important employment skills - critical and logical thinking, evaluation of argument and evidence, knowing where and how to find information, working with initiative and in teams, and communicating both orally and in writing. These are the skills that employers constantly say they look for in graduates.

| 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
|
The double degree combination provides future engineers with the skills base they will need in management positions, graduates of this program can seek employment in fields relevant to Civil Engineering and Economics.
Many graduates choose to combined their knowledge and background from both programs, leading them to excel in a variety of managerial positions.
Civil Engineer, Manager / Business Management, Environmental Management
