This qualification reflects the role of individuals working as designers or design paraprofessionals who support professional engineers within the civil construction domain. This course prepares students to perform tasks involving a high level of autonomy and apply significant judgement in planning and determining the selection of equipment/roles/techniques for themselves and others.
Students will develop site specific work designs to ensure the implementation of the client’s site requirements. They demonstrate the application of a broad range of technical, managerial, coordination and planning skills. Course structure includes broad competency areas such as CAD/AUTOCAD operations, engineering drawings, engineering calculations and mathematics, and designs for civil structures.
