Humanitarian Engineering Major
Overview
This major is the first of its kind in Australia. It will help you develop the crucial skills to plan, implement, and maintain infrastructure in rural Australian areas and developing countries.
You will explore international aid and development, and learn from experienced practitioners and industry partners about how to work in disadvantaged communities, fragile states, and communities in disaster recovery.
You’ll also have the opportunity to conduct local or overseas fieldwork and apply your knowledge to analyse the challenges faced by Australia’s close neighbours, such as rapid urbanisation and entrenched poverty.
This major best aligns with the Civil stream.
