World crafters
Civil and construction engineering is about building the world of tomorrow. It applies science and technology to the design, construction and maintenance of essential infrastructure and community facilities.
This type of engineering spans roads, bridges, railways, harbours, water supply and water treatment systems, as well as large-scale projects such as dams, mining developments, power plants and skyscrapers. Civil engineers work alongside planners, architects and environmental scientists to deliver infrastructure that’s safe sustainable and fit for purpose.
At Curtin, you’ll develop strong teamwork and problem-solving skills in your first year, preparing you for a diverse and collaborative career.
