Synopsis

To carry out the design for a specified civil engineering development. The design project will vary from year to year but will include aspects of structural, water, geomechanics and transport design.

Outcomes

The objective of this unit is to provide students with the experience of carrying out a significant civil and environmental engineering project under conditions roughly equivalent to those experienced by a new graduate in an engineering office. The project will be drawn from industry, and will be multi disciplinary involving application of materials learnt throughout the undergraduate program.
