Impact our day-to-day lives
Civil engineers are responsible for so much of our reality.
This is a career that specialises in public works, including roads, bridges, water, sewage and irrigation structures, car parks, recreational facilities, and much more.
Melbourne Polytechnic offers a comprehensive range of courses and subjects on the design and construction of public works. Our civil engineering students learn civil construction processes, surveying, computer-aided drafting (CAD) skills, technical drawing, force systems and fabrication techniques, and analysing environmental issues.
With a focus on engineering drafting skills, graduates will learn the skills needed to create and improve the world around us.
“They explained to me that with the Advanced Diploma of Engineering Technology I could have a qualification as a draftsperson, and I thought 'yeah, this is good. I think I really need a career change.'”
