BEng (Honours) (Civil and Construction Engineering)/Bachelor of Commerce in Bentley Australia | Curtin University

The Engineering-Commerce dual degree is an expanded, elective pathway for engineering students. This program aims to enhance your business acumen, providing additional expertise to launch your engineering career after graduation. Your initial year will include the Engineering Foundation Year (EFY), created in collaboration with industry leaders to establish core engineering principles applicable across all disciplines and aligned with modern engineering standards.

This combined degree strengthens both your business understanding and practical commerce abilities, preparing you for varied career opportunities. You'll explore six foundational business units (accounting, economics, information systems, business law, management, and marketing) to gain broad business exposure before specializing in your chosen commerce field.

You'll refine communication abilities and essential professional competencies valued by employers. Additional benefits may include career counseling and international study options. A distinctive feature is the final-year Business capstone unit, where you'll manage a simulated multimillion-dollar enterprise, applying your expertise to solidify learning while producing professional-grade work outputs.

Civil engineers shape our physical infrastructure. They play vital roles in teams designing and building structures like bridges, road systems, ports, water management systems, urban developments, and other major projects. As construction challenges grow more complex, successful project completion increasingly depends on multidisciplinary collaboration, with civil engineers at the core. This program develops fundamental scientific, mathematical, and practical abilities. You'll learn to apply these skills to engineering challenges and progressively build civil engineering expertise, covering structural design, geotechnics, transportation systems, hydraulic engineering, construction methods, and professional standards. Your final year combines these competencies through major civil engineering projects, an intensive research component, and specialized electives in structural, geotechnical, transportation, water resources, or environmental engineering.
