Undergraduate Certificate in Civil Engineering

Civil and structural engineering is one of the oldest forms of engineering which involves the design, construction, and maintenance of the built environment. Civil engineers design for progress, to ensure a future of resilient and sustainable infrastructure that will meet the demands of our growing population. Upon completion of this undergraduate certificate, you will acquire fundamental knowledge, skills and understanding in the key core units of the civil engineering discipline. You will also demonstrate scientific, mathematical, contextual factors and design practice knowledge - contextualized to engineering applications such as ‘surveying’.

Online Delivery and Assessments

EIT uses an innovative, online approach to ensure that you have a supportive, interactive and practical education experience. Our delivery model involves live, interactive online tutorials, remote laboratories, simulation software, and assignments with support from dedicated Learning Support Officers and Academic Staff.

Tutorials are conducted using our own specialized, live, interactive software system. You will receive course materials and assessments through an online Learning Management System which is available 24 hours a day. The course learning outcomes will be assessed with formative and summative assessments. These formal and informal assessment methods include quizzes, invigilated tests, written reports, remote-lab practicals, case studies and invigilated final exams.

Employment Outcomes and Pathways

Students who have a basic undergraduate certificate in civil engineering degree are able to enhance their ability and knowledge in the civil engineering field, enabling them to gain and hold employment.

Graduates will be able to work in a wide range of construction, structural planning, design, site management, water and waste management, transport maintenance and operations, urban planning, and civil engineering project management in junior to technical assistant roles.

Further study pathway with EIT would be the Bachelor of Science (Civil and Structural Engineering) -> Master of Engineering (Civil: Structural).
