Master of Professional Engineering (Civil with Management)

Ideal for practising engineers who want advanced, cutting-edge knowledge and skills in a chosen engineering field or want to move into an engineering management role.
Lead and contribute to complex projects.
Respond rapidly and effectively to current and emerging local and global challenges.
Use evidence-based practice to imagine and realise change using management strategies, advanced design, collaborative decision-making and innovation.
The civil with management major is provisionally accredited with Engineers Australia.
Why choose this course?
This course enhances the knowledge, practice and professional employability skills of engineers in specific discipline areas at an advanced level. Explore an integrated mix of specialist discipline complexity and evidence-based practice with future-focused professional skills development in a connected learning environment.

The civil with management major provides advanced studies in the broad spectrum of civil engineering disciplines, expanding the knowledge gained in undergraduate degrees and complementing them with relevant management theory and practice in preparation to solve complex tasks in managing civil engineering projects.

This course is suitable for practising engineers who want to change engineering disciplines and attain postgraduate qualifications.

Real-world learning
Through your studies, you will learn how to:

apply advanced and specialist knowledge, concepts and practices in engineering design, analysis management and sustainability
critically analyse and evaluate complex engineering problems to achieve, research informed solutions
apply systematic approaches to plan, design, execute and manage an engineering project
communicate complex information effectively and succinctly, presenting high level reports, arguments and justifications in oral, written and visual forms to professional and non-specialist audiences
organise and manage time, tasks and projects independently and collaboratively, demonstrating the values and principles that shape engineering decision making and professional accountability.
You will be engaged with the demands, complexities, tools and contemporary practices of authentic engineering environments. You will develop and shape contemporary authentic professional skills for immediate application in workplace contexts.

You will undertake your studies through a range of learning practices, including industry-led case studies, project-based learning. Your capstone learning experience is a workplace-based or authentic two-semester project staged via a series of developmental assessments. This is supported through preparation for a simulated international engineering conference (peer-reviewed poster presentation and paper).
