Program Description

This dual award program is designed to allow students to gain accreditation as both Engineers and Surveyors through students completing the the Civil Engineering stream of the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) program 3707 in combination with the Bachelor of Surveying 3775. This allows students flexibility in their future careers.

Students are able to complete the Civil Engineering stream of the Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) program 3707 as well as the surveying core of the Bachelor of Surveying program 3775. Students will be eligible for accreditation as Civil Engineers with Engineers Australia, as well as Surveyors through the Institution of Surveyors NSW and the NSW Board of Surveying and Spatial Information (BOSSI).

Students should refer to the structure information pages for rules on the single programs and plans:

Program Structure

The Bachelor of Surveying program includes a 144 UOC depth component, made up of a 72 UOC Engineering Foundation and a 72 UOC Surveying Core. Since students complete the Engineering Foundation courses as part of their Civil Engineering stream, these courses will be double counted and reduce the total duration of the dual program by 72 UOC. Please contact the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering for academic advice including sample program information for the dual program.

Program Learning Outcomes
  1. Comprehensive, theory based understanding of the underpinning natural and physical sciences and the engineering fundamentals applicable to the engineering discipline.
  2. Conceptual understanding of the mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics, and computer and information sciences which underpin the engineering discipline. In-depth understanding of specialist bodies of knowledge within the engineering discipline. Discernment of knowledge development and research directions within the engineering discipline.
  3. Knowledge of engineering design practice and contextual factors impacting the engineering discipline.
  4. Understanding of the scope, principles, norms, accountabilities and bounds of sustainable engineering practice in the specific discipline.
  5. Application of established engineering methods to complex engineering problem solving.
  6. Fluent application of engineering techniques, tools and resources.
  7. Application of systematic engineering synthesis and design processes.
  8. Application of systematic approaches to the conduct and management of engineering projects.
  9. Ethical conduct and professional accountability.
  10. Effective oral and written communication in professional and lay domains.
  11. Creative, innovative and pro-active demeanour.
  12. Professional use and management of information.

General Education Requirements

Dual award programs that consist of two Bachelor degrees drawn from one faculty have a GE requirement of 12 units of credit. Professional elective courses in each program can be replaced by courses in the other program. This will ensure that these two courses can be replaced by 12 UOC of General Education courses.
