Please note - Swinburne University of Technology

The course is a general one which gives a good grounding in
civil engineering. Some specialisation occurs in the later years
of the course when students choose electives from a range of
specialist topics available.
Degree course revision
Students entering the first year of the Civil Engineering course
will be enrolled in the common first year, and will follow the
Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) 1990 syllabus.
Part-time study
The course may be completed by part-time study. A few
subjects are available as evening subjects.
Structure of degree course
The degree course consists of seven academic semesters at
Swinburne and two semesters in industry.
In the third and fourth years, students spend one semester of
each year at Swinburne and the remainder working in industry.
Employment is arranged by Swinburne and students receive a
salary approximately two-thirds of that of a graduate engineer.
Students benefit greatly from this first-hand industrial
experience and liaison is maintained between mentor,
employer and student.
The fifth year, which consists of only one eighteen week
-. o semester, is spent at Swinburne.

The course is intended to prepare students for the profession
of building surveying. It meets the educational requirements
for membership of the Australian Institute of Building
Surveyors and the educational requirements of the Victorian
Building Control Qualifications Board, which licenses Building
Surveyors in the State of Victoria.
The course was introduced at the request of the AiBS and was
designed to enable future members of the profession to cope
with anticipated changes in building technology, materials and
statutory regulations.
The course is coordinated by the School of Civil Engineering
and Buildinq. It is interdisciplina~ in nature. with a teachina
input from a
4
number of schools..
