Digital Infrastructure Engineering Systems Major

The Digital Infrastructure Engineering Systems major, available through the Bachelor of Design and Bachelor of Science, develops deep knowledge in spatial measurement and analysis in both human and natural environments. The major covers topics such as land surveying and mapping, remote sensing, geographic information systems, image processing and land administration. Subjects in this major are designed with significant hands-on, practical elements to complement the engineering and IT theory covered in the course.

Course Overview

In the first and second years of the Digital Infrastructure Engineering Systems major, students complete subjects that are prerequisites for the major. These include mathematics, foundational mapping, geographic information systems and surveying.

Completion of the major in third year requires three subjects of deep and specialised study in spatial systems. The core subjects required for completion of the major are Engineering Risk Management, Imaging the Environment, and the Digital Infrastructure Systems Capstone.

More Information About the Digital Infrastructure Engineering Systems Major

To become a professionally accredited digital infrastructure engineer, students can study the Digital Infrastructure Engineering Systems major in the Bachelor of Design or Bachelor of Science, then progress to the Master of Digital Infrastructure Engineering Systems.

Other popular graduate pathways include the Master of Information Technology (Spatial), Master of Urban Planning, and Master of Construction Management.
