ENG474 Civil Engineering Topic Tree - Conversion Masters (8)

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. This subject takes the student through the Topic Tree to recognise prior learning, demonstrate mastery, and complete the topics necessary to be ready to commence a senior placement at the same level as a cadet continuing in their Bachelor of Technology (Civil Systems)/Master of Engineering (Civil Systems) combined degree. Selection of topics will be guided by a combination of individual goals and identified knowledge gaps.
