拉籌伯大學(xué)

Disruptive technology is reshaping industries on a global scale, and civil engineering is no exception. Robotics, 3D printing and big data means infrastructure is developed faster, better and more sustainably. Employers need engineers with relevant skills and experience with emerging technology.

La Trobe's Master of Engineering (Civil) was developed in consultation with industry leaders to help meet this demand and ensure graduates are ready for the challenges of our future workforce.

You'll gain technical knowledge and learn methods of civil engineering, including mechanics and principles of design. Build software skills using tools such as Python, MATLAB, AutoCAD, CAM, FEA and CFD.

Our six-month Work Integrated Learning (WIL) program gives you 800 hours of experience working in an engineering company or related-industry employer of civil engineers, including BMW, Audi, Siemens, the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) and Fortis. You'll build industry connections and see how engineering is practiced first-hand. A $10000 scholarship is also available for eligible students to support you while you study.

You'll learn:

Australian Engineering Environment and Sustainability Practices

Gain an understanding of Australian engineering industry sustainability practices and build attributes required to make a successful transition from university to the world of work.

The mechanics of composite materials

Learn about the quality and nature of materials so you can choose the most appropriate ones for your projects.

Computer-aided engineering

Use computers and software to design and improve structures.

Structural dynamics

Understand how to integrate the design and physics of buildings and structures to make them safe and long-lasting.

Water waste technology

Discover how water and waste technology can be used as sustainable engineering solutions.

One year of advanced standing may be available to engineering graduates with a four-year Bachelor’s degree with Honours from another Australian university.

The qualification awarded on graduation is recognised in the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) as Level 9.

CAREER OUTCOMES

Possible career paths include:

Construction engineer

Oversee large-scale construction projects such as housing, roads, building sites and sewerage systems to deliver best-practice outcomes.

Civil engineer

Design, construct, supervise, operate and maintain large infrastructure projects and systems such as roads, buildings and airports.

Structural engineer

Scope, survey, design and develop residential, industrial, commercial and public projects in building and infrastructure.
