What you'll learn
 

In your first year you will develop a strong, general foundation in engineering. You’ll then move into your civil engineering major. From third year onwards you will commence construction management courses, such as Construction Scheduling and Advanced Construction Management.

The UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program then allows you to apply the skills and knowledge you've acquired throughout your degree in real-world settings.

 At least half of your honours year will involve a major project. Projects are generally supported by industry clients or based in a research area like the Sustainable Infrastructure and Resource Management concentration.

You will also undertake the Engineering Capstone Experience course with other engineering students. This course will see you complete real projects provided by industry, with industrial representatives acting as your clients. You will work through the real-life stages of a project from developing a tender through to feasibility, concept development and detailed design. See examples of student projects: Project 1 and Project 2.

Study hours
 

For each course you study, you will need to allocate time for various classes such as lectures, tutorials, workshops, seminars and practicals. Plus you will need additional hours to study in your own time to complete assignments, readings and projects, as well as to contribute to online discussion forums (independent study). So as a general rule, if you are studying full-time you would need to allocate 12–26 hours of study when at university and 14–28 hours of independent study per week.
