In Progress
Please note that this Unit Profile is still in progress. The content below is subject to change.Overview
Students are introduced to the roles of civil construction team members, use of typical project documents, application of Standards, acts and regulations, and construction processes to civil earthworks, temporary works, substructure works and superstructure works for routine construction projects. Students conduct research, prepare reports and presentations and work independently and in teams in a professional manner. Distance education (FLEX) students are required to have access to a computer and to make frequent use of the Internet.

Pre-requisites or Co-requisites
Cond: Flex mode is not available to students in Co-op Course CF47
Important note: Students enrolled in a subsequent unit who failed their pre-requisite unit, should drop the subsequent unit before the census date or within 10 working days of Fail grade notification. Students who do not drop the unit in this timeframe cannot later drop the unit without academic and financial liability. See details in the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework).
Offerings For Term 1 - 2025
Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).
Recommended Student Time Commitment
Each 6-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.
Class Timetable
Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of 'pass' in order to pass the unit. If any 'pass/fail' tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully ('pass' grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the 'assessment task' section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University's Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from Unit Evaluation
The Moodle page may need some organisation with the new tile format.
Review the arrangement of study materials to assist the student in learning the topics.
Feedback from Unit Evaluation
Good use of real-world examples. The lecture is very helpful and well knowledged.
The good practice will be continued in future offers.
- Explain the roles of civil construction team members
- Apply contract documents, standards, codes of practice, acts, and regulations to routine construction work
- Plan civil engineering construction processes for routine civil construction tasks
- Apply information literacy skills to research and prepare professional records and reports
- Work and learn in a professional manner.
