Diploma of Engineering (Civil and Construction Engineering)

The Diploma of Engineering (Civil & Construction Engineering) at Curtin College is designed to provide students with a solid foundation in the principles and practices of civil and construction engineering. The program combines theoretical knowledge with practical skills, preparing students for further study in engineering or entry-level roles in the construction and infrastructure sectors. Students gain exposure to core subjects such as structural design, construction management, surveying, materials technology, and engineering mathematics, which are essential for understanding how engineering projects are planned, designed, and executed.

The course also emphasizes practical, hands-on learning through laboratory work, workshops, and project-based assignments, enabling students to develop problem-solving and technical skills applicable to real-world engineering challenges. Additionally, the program equips students with key professional skills such as teamwork, communication, and project planning, which are critical for successful careers in civil and construction engineering. Upon completion, students can progress directly into the second year of a related engineering bachelor’s degree at Curtin University or enter the workforce in junior engineering roles within the construction and infrastructure industry.
