Level 7
Civil engineers need to have a detailed understanding of the range of materials they may work with. This includes how materials may be quantifiably tested and characterised so that the data is presented and interpreted in a way that can be understood by other professionals.
As part of this course you will be involved in an investigation of the range of materials commonly used in civil engineering. The characterisation of materials and the need for material parameters for design will be considered.
You will test a range of materials in the laboratory to establish material properties. Presentation and interpretation of test results will also form an important part of the course.
Travel to Australia
As part of this course you need to attend a practice unit at the University of South Queensland (USQ) in Australia. These units are held twice yearly in February and September.
Once you have decided on the practice unit you want to attend, we recommend you email us at so we can arrange your placement with USQ on your behalf. Once we have confirmed your placement, we will notify you and then you can enrol in the course via our website.
