Stage2 - Diploma of Engineering - Engineering, leading to Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Civil and Construction Engineering Navitas Group - Curtin College, Australia

Students who have already completed Year 12 (or equivalent) may start with the Stage 2 Diploma, which has the same course content and structure as year one of the corresponding Curtin University undergraduate degree. Upon completion of your Diploma, you will progress directly into the second year of your Curtin University Bachelor's degree program.

Stage2 - Diploma of Engineering
Engineers can find themselves working in many different disciplines and environments, from overseeing maintenance operations to designing and building engineered solutions, the range of career options is vast, varied and challenging.

The Diploma of Engineering offers students an industry-connected experience, uniquely placed to provide solutions to the challenges faced by the global community. Curtin College will provide you with the skills and knowledge to enable you to commence the academic studies you will need for your career in engineering.

Leading to: Bachelor of Engineering
Curtin’s Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) offers you an industry-connected education experience in which you will learn how to provide solutions to complex societal challenges and improve the quality of life for people all around the world.

Major: Civil and Construction
Civil engineers design and construct our infrastructure. They are key members of teams involved in the design and construction of buildings, bridges, roads and highways, harbours, dams, irrigation and water supplies, municipal infrastructure and other large structures and projects.

As our built environment becomes increasingly complicated, ambitious construction projects can only be completed by teams of people with different skills, working together. The civil engineer is central to this process.

In this course, you will develop basic scientific, mathematical and practical skills. You'll learn how to use these skills to solve engineering problems and then to develop your civil engineering capabilities.

You’ll learn to apply these skills in structural analysis and design, geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering, hydraulics, construction and professional practice.

In your final year, you’ll integrate your design, construction and management skills in large civil engineering projects; undertake a major civil engineering research project; and select units from specialty options in the areas of structural, geotechnical, transportation, water resources and environmental engineering.

To satisfy professional requirements, you'll complete at least 12 weeks (or equivalent) of exposure to professional engineering practice. This requirement can be met through appropriate work experience or a combination of technical and non-technical activities.
