The participants emerge from the course able to demonstrate specialised and integrated technical and theoretical knowledge, with considerable depth, in the area of Civil and Structural Engineering. This program is designed to meet the specialised needs of industry. Graduates will have the knowledge and skills to contribute to the capacity of civil and structural engineering and related industries to maintain their competitiveness in a global marketplace through the application of latest technologies, value adding to existing products, process and services and the development of new, sustainable and innovative solutions. Eight threads run through the program to give students maximum, functional coverage in the field of civil and structural engineering. These threads comprise of environmental issues, engineering technologies, drawing, 2D and 3D CAD design, building materials, roads, steel, concrete, pavement, drainage, soil, water supply and sewerage, construction sites, and engineering management

Graduates of the Advanced Diploma of Civil and Structural Engineering will be able to:
• Apply effective design, drawing, testing and surveying techniques to civil and structural projects
• Analyse project requirements using appropriate mathematics and physics computations
• Identify relevant properties of key aspects in the physical environment and in materials associated with projects
• Evaluate typical contemporary issues in civil and structural engineering
• Formulate engineering solutions to typical scenarios related to civil and structural engineering
• Implement and utilise engineering solutions to diverse fields in any organisation
• Analyse, diagnose, plan, design and execute solutions with respect to urban roads, storm water and reticulation schemes, steel structures and reinforced concrete structures
• Prepare complex technical information and concepts to plan, communicate and implement solutions to a range of engineering environments and contexts
• Integrate and solve interdisciplinary engineering systems
• Manage complex projects on time and within budget
• Manage self-autonomy within an organization, to achieve objectives that have outputs based on engineering applications.
