Join the next generation of civil and structural engineering experts, working on exciting projects in a range of engineering specialities including road, rail, and drainage systems, dams, harbours, bridges and buildings across Australia and the world.
This qualification in civil and structural engineering will provide you with the skills and knowledge to work on projects ranging from skyscrapers to intricate road designs; and expand your study of the design and construction of civil works such as dams, structures and pipe networks.
The course covers a range of engineering specialities including road, rail, and drainage systems, dams, harbours, bridges and buildings to extend your knowledge so that you can plan, design, develop and manage construction and repair projects relating to these disciplines.
You will learn a range of engineering drafting standards and receive exposure to computer-aided design (CAD) programs selected from AutoCAD, Microstation, Revit and 12D; gain skills in applying construction principles to civil engineering works, produce advanced engineering designs and drawings, 3-D CAD in engineering; and learn structural analysis in engineering.
Note: This course is best suited for people who already have some background or experience in this field. If you're unsure, please seek advice from the training provider to see whether this course is the right choice for you.
Completion of this nationally recognised and accredited qualification may provide credit towards a relevant higher level qualification or university degree, should you wish to pursue further study in this field.
A qualification that offers a great career
In this short video, you'll hear from Laureen Engelhardt who completed a Diploma in Civil and Structural Engineering at North Metropolitan TAFE.
Lauren talks about how a passion for architecture led her to the field of civil instruction engineering. Studying while working part time in the industry, she says that every day brings new challenges and new situations to find solutions for.

Want to work on international engineering projects?
Gain advanced skills in the design and drafting of engineering plans to Australian and New Zealand standards and you could be working on local, interstate or international engineering projects.
This comprehensive qualification in civil and structural engineering could see you working on projects ranging from skyscrapers to intricate road designs.
This course will extend your study of the design and construction of civil works like dams, structures and pipe networks that is covered in the Diploma course.
While the emphasis is on producing working drawings for civil works which are used to communicate the engineers designs to the workers involved in constructing the works, you can participate more in the design decisions that are made.
You will learn a range of engineering drafting standards and receive exposure to CAD programs selected from autocad, Revit and 12D. You will extend your ability to address technical issues beyond what is achieved in the Diploma course.
