Civil and environmental engineering provides engineering infrastructure that functions in harmony with the environment. It combines the skills of a civil engineer to design, build, maintain, manage and operate infrastructure for the benefit of society with the expertise in sustainable development of an environmental engineer.
Civil and environmental engineering addresses the interactions between engineered and natural environments, as well as the preservation of ecosystems. It involves designing, building, maintaining and operating infrastructure such as road systems, marine and wetland developments and recreational facilities. It can also involve working on projects such as mining and landfill site restoration.
For full details of the course structure and units studied visit the University handbook entry for this course (link below).
Demand is rapidly growing for engineering graduates with expertise in planning, designing, managing and operating environmentally sensitive infrastructure and systems.
An increasing population and improving standard of living continue to provide many jobs in local, state and federal government, consulting and contracting firms, and research and development or education organisations.

Australian: Engineers Australia: full accreditation
Equivalent Australian Year 12.
University
Monash offers three single units (offered at the Clayton campus only) in the areas of mathematics, chemistry and physics that provide a suitable preparation for engineering courses:
ENG1070 Foundation Chemistry
ENG1080 Foundation Physics
ENG1090 Foundation Mathematics
(this unit assumes knowledge equivalent to VCE Mathematical Methods).
These units are similar in content to the VCE units of Chemistry, Physics and Specialist Mathematics or their equivalents. Students undertaking similar units through other institutions should ensure their studies also satisfy the course prerequisites.
Background studies
Because of its specific prerequisite requirements in the areas of English, mathematics and at least one of chemistry or physics, the faculty believes that VCE provides the most suitable preparation for all applicants. However, it recognises the other pathways outlined here.
Units 3 and 4 a study score of at least 30 in English (ESL) or 25 in any other English and a study score of at least 20 in mathematical methods (either) and in one of chemistry or physics.
English, Mathematics (SL or HL) or Further Mathematics and one of Chemistry or Physics at a minimum of grade four at standard level.
Minimum entrance requirements for admission to Monash University Australia.
