Course planning FAQ: Structural Environments

Should I enrol in Structural Environments in Semester 2?

ENVS10009 Structural Environments is a new Level 1 Environments subject being offered for the first time in Semester 2 this year. It introduces engineering and construction principles with a mix of design projects, interactive workshops and lectures.

It is intended that Structural Environments will only be offered in Semester 2 each year, instead of both Semester 1 and 2.

B Envs students are required to take ENVS10009 Structural Environments if they intend on completing any of the following majors or subjects (unless they have already completed ENVS10003 Constructing Environments in 2012 or earlier):

  >  Civil (Engineering) Systems major
  >  Construction major
  >  Environmental Engineering Systems major
  >  ENGR20003 Engineering Materials
  >  ENGR20004 Engineering Mechanics
  >  ABPL20042 Residential Construction and Structures in 2014*

*Structural Environments will be a prerequisite for the 2014 offering of Residential Construction and Structures. Students are recommended to plan ahead for this change.

If you intend to take Structural Environments in Semester 2, enrol now through your my.unimelb student portal. More information about the subject, including prerequisite requirements, is available in the Handbook.
