Course overview
This double degree will give you the ideal skill set for energy and mining industries.
In addition to expertise in civil and construction engineering, you'll gain detailed knowledge of mining engineering, learning aspects of surface and underground mining, materials handling and mining methods.
Building upon your civil and construction engineering skills, you’ll complete one year of your course at Curtin Kalgoorlie (typically your fourth year). Here, you’ll gain an understanding of mining industry operations – including management of people and resources, health and safety, and environmental conservation.
Through work experience or technical and non-technical activities, you’ll have substantial exposure to professional engineering practice.
You’ll graduate with comprehensive skills in civil, construction and mining engineering for in-demand industry careers.
