ENG471 Civil Engineering Topic Tree - Cadet Engineer (72)
Abstract|
The core of the engineering curriculum is the Civil Engineering Topic Tree. The overall Topic Tree contains around 1,000 topics, covering the range of different specialties within civil engineering. Students complete these topics in a mastery learning paradigm, with linkages between the topics indicated by required pre-requisite knowledge. This subject takes the student through the Topic Tree to complete the topics necessary to be ready to commence a capstone project prior to graduating as a civil engineer. |

Learning OutcomesUpon successful completion of this subject, students should:
- possess a comprehensive, theory based understanding of the underpinning natural and physical sciences and the engineering fundamentals applicable to the engineering discipline; and
- fluently and critically apply engineering techniques, tools and resources.
- Each individual topic on topic tree has an individual objective identifying the specfic knowledge to be acquired in that topic. The overall objective for the subject depend upon the aggregation of the objectives for the topics chosen by the student

SyllabusThe subject will cover the following topics:
- The topics for this subject are contained in the Civil Engineering Topic Tree. Each topic has its own objectives, learning materials and assessments. In order to successfully complete this subject, students will need to have completed a minimum of 600 topics in the Topic Tree (including the 240 from ENG 271), including all topics specified in Schedule B: Required Competency for Civil Engineers, and at least one of the combinations specified in Schedule C: Required competencies for commencement of capstone projects.
- Topic Tree branches include: *engineering fundamentals; *communications and research; *sustainability and the enviroment; * geotechnical engineering; *water and waste water; *civil engineering practice; *civil engineering construction; *roads and transport; *project management; *business and entrepreneurship; *materials engineering; *engineering mechanics; and *structure engineering.
- Schedule C includes those topics from one or more branches on the topic tree to be compentent in an area of specialisaton within civil engineering (ie., a structural engineer, a geotechnical engineer, etc).
