Advanced Diploma of Civil Construction Design

Second Part of the Civil Construction Design Program

RII60520 is Offered only as a package with Diploma of Civil Construction Design- RII50520 | CRICOS 118012E

Albright Civil Construction Design Program prepares graduates for Engineering Associate level, supporting professional engineers through the self-directed application of theoretical and technical knowledge to tasks that are broad, specialised, complex and technical, with a focus on specific elements of the system and work undertaken within codes, established practices and procedures.

The Civil Construction Design Program is structured as a nested qualification pathway comprising the RII50520 Diploma of Civil Construction Design followed by the RII60520 Advanced Diploma of Civil Construction Design.

This staged structure enables students to build foundational and intermediate capability through the Diploma and extend this into broader and more complex technical application through the Advanced Diploma.

The following program outcomes describe the knowledge, skills, engineering application, and professional capabilities graduates are expected to achieve through the Civil Construction Design Program (RII50520+RII60520).

PO1. Technical Knowledge and Engineering Context
Graduates will be able to apply mathematics, engineering mechanics, digital modelling, and civil design knowledge to site assessment and to the integrated analysis, design, and documentation of civil works, including pavement works, earthworks, roads, drainage, foundations, structures, and subdivision works, in accordance with relevant standards and established engineering practice.

PO2. Engineering Application and Civil Works Design Processes
Graduates will be able to apply site assessment, pavement inspection, earthworks, detailed civil design, and systematic project management processes, using information systems and authentic workplace documentation, to scope civil works requirements, evaluate options, coordinate design activities, manage risk, time, quality, and human resources, and support implementation and handover.

PO3. Design and Drafting Practice
Graduates will be able to prepare and present civil design drawings, digital models, and supporting technical documentation for civil works using CAD, 3-D modelling, BIM, relevant drafting conventions, and applicable Australian Standards and codes to support compliant design and professional documentation practices.

PO4. Systems, Codes and Procedures
Graduates will be able to work with specific elements of civil works systems within applicable codes, Australian Standards, legislation, established practices, procedures, quality systems, and safe design requirements to support compliant design, documentation, review, and implementation in accordance with established engineering practice.

PO5. Professional Practice, Communication and Responsibility
Graduates will be able to communicate effectively in professional and lay contexts, manage information, documentation, and records responsibly, work effectively as team members and team leaders, and exercise ethical judgement, accountability, initiative, and self-management through reflective practice.

Civil Construction, Engineering Design

The program is informed by ANZSCO 312211 Civil Engineering Draftsperson, an occupation focused on the preparation of detailed drawings and plans for civil engineering works in support of Civil Engineering Professionals and Engineering Technologists. Typical work includes the preparation of sketches, charts, tabulations, plans and designs for drainage, water supply, sewage reticulation systems, roads, airports, dams and other civil infrastructure.
