Course contents
* Apply engineering principles to solve engineering problems: scientific, theoretical and technical principles.
* Apply civil engineering techniques, procedures and methods, and review and evaluate the results, including measuring and testing, designing, installing, commissioning, constructing, maintaining or operating civil engineering components and systems; consider how continuous improvement can contribute to improved performance.
* Employ mathematical, statistical and data interpretation tools, using analytical and computational methods, and apply an integrated or systems-based approach.
* Identify, interpret and compare information to select materials, components or parts used in civil engineering.
* Research, collect, select and evaluate technical literature and other sources of data and information to address, analyse and evaluate civil engineering problems.
* Produce civil engineering technical solutions in accordance with relevant industry standards, policies, codes of practice, regulations, and legislation.
* Select and apply computational and analytical techniques to model civil engineering problems, recognising the limitations of the techniques employed.
* Contribute to the design, development and implementation of civil engineering solutions, and evaluate their effectiveness in the context of the whole project life cycle.
* Manage and comply with statutory health, safety and welfare policies, procedures and regulation, and contribute to improvements in health, safety and welfare, within their own area of responsibility.
* Complete risk assessments to identify, evaluate, manage and mitigate risks.
