Course Overview
The Master of Infrastructure Engineering and Management will equip students to meet these important challenges. The program was developed in response to the growing need for engineers with advanced knowledge of the characteristics and significance of infrastructure, including its technological, economic and social impact. The course is aimed at giving students a thorough understanding of the nature of infrastructure and its operation and management. To achieve these aims, the development of appropriate analytical skills and practical knowledge is stressed, together with recognition of the role of other disciplines in tackling infrastructure-related issues. Graduates will be able to: plan and execute the development of infrastructure projects; understand the need to plan, develop and maintain infrastructure at a high level; recognise the importance of whole of life considerations in achieving the best operation of infrastructure; evaluate alternative projects and policies in a rigorous manner; evaluate critically the work of others; communicate effectively to teams and clients. This off-campus course is aimed at managers, engineers and technical staff who undertake asset management in local and state governments. It is also for those who are involved in the management of infrastructure such as roads, railways, buildings, bridges, tunnels, dams and pipelines.
