Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Civil

at University of South Australia - Mawson Lakes Campus Australia

Cybersecurity is an essential component of a modern, prosperous and safe society. Like many other nations, Australia is suffering from a cybersecurity skills shortage. These particular skills are essential in our connected, technology-enabled world1.

You will develop the skills and expertise required to assess, design and implement enterprise wide cybersecurity. In a final year Cybersecurity Exercise you will devise and implement a defence strategy for a complex enterprise environment.

What you'll Learn

You will study a range of core and technical courses including network infrastructure, security governance, web and cloud security, and cybersecurity risk and compliance. You will also complete two capstone courses:

Security Architecture: apply cybersecurity defence strategies and security testing techniques to a complex IT environment and develop presentation methods for communicating technical topics to a lay audience.

Professional Project: work in a structured project team, gaining practical experience in contemporary cybersecurity techniques and practices.

This master degree offers innovative, integrated studies in sustainability, natural resources, and geospatial sciences.

It provides the opportunity to pursue higher level study before entering the workforce. It also fulfils the formal continuing professional development needs of environmental scientists and managers already in the workforce.

The University of South Australia’s environmental studies programs have been developed in response to industry demand. They are designed to meet the increasingly diverse responsibilities and challenges faced by managers, and the growing demand for skilled resource management practitioners. Courses are delivered by our highly qualified lecturers, and by industry practitioners from various government departments and private enterprise.

What you'll learn

You will explore the theory and practice of managing and sustaining our natural and built environment through core courses and advanced electives. You will also complete a Master Thesis. You will develop skills in:

• understanding and managing resources within a sustainability framework
• understanding and applying systems thinking
• spatial data management and analysis
• project management

Mechanical and mechatronic engineering is a diverse field that can be applied right across industry – from robotics and automation to manufacturing, automotive and energy. This degree captures that diversity, integrating mechanical engineering with computing, control, automation and actuation.

What you Learn

In your first year you will develop a strong general foundation in engineering including computer programming, applied mathematics and physics. As your studies progress you will discover innovative mechanical and mechatronic areas such as robotics, industrial actuation and automation and machine vision.

Our UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program allows you to apply the skills and knowledge you've acquired throughout your degree in real-world settings.

At least half of the honours year involves a major project. You will take the lead as an engineer in a project environment, working with industry, a government organisation, or an academic research area.
