Engineering Practice (Civil Engineering)

If you are an Engineering Technologist and have more than 5 years industry experience under your belt, then USQ’s Master of Engineering Practice (Civil Engineering) will give you the necessary qualification to be eligible for Professional Engineer registration with Engineers Australia.

Right from the beginning you will be able to use the knowledge and skills you have already gained in the workplace to complete your first year core units. Through self-assessment and workplace portfolios you will demonstrate how you may already meet Engineers Australia’s competencies and identify the technical courses you will need to complete in order to graduate. You will build upon your prior knowledge in Civil Engineering with advanced studies in areas such as design, structural analysis and hydraulics.

Your capstone course will see you work as part of a student civil design team to work on real world industry topics.
