What Does It Really Mean to Study EIT’s Master of Engineering (Civil: Structural)?

Join us for a technical in-depth exploration into the Master of Engineering (Civil: Structural) and discover how this program equips engineers to design structures that withstand real-world demands, from dynamic loads to seismic forces.

In this session, we’ll spotlight one of the program’s advanced focus areas: Structural & Dynamic Analysis with Earthquake Engineering Applications.

You’ll explore how engineers analyze statically indeterminate structures, model dynamic behavior, evaluate hazard and risk, and design systems that meet international safety and performance standards.

Whether you’re aiming to move into senior design roles, consultancy, or specialist structural engineering pathways, this session will show you how the program builds high-level technical capability aligned with global industry standards and recognition under the Washington Accord.

Key takeaways from this webinar:
- Gain a clear understanding of the Master of Engineering (Civil: Structural) course structure and what you will study over the 24-month duration
- Learn how the online & on-campus study model is delivered and how it supports working professionals
- Understand the entry requirements, time commitment, and expectations at master’s level
- Explore career outcomes and how this qualification positions you for progression within the structural engineering industry

Presenter: Dr. Karoline Figueiredo, EIT Lecturer and Civil Engineer

Dr. Karoline Figueiredo is a civil and environmental engineer specialising in sustainable construction and the integration of digital technologies into the built environment. She holds a Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering (Concentration: Built Environment) from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), where her research focused on optimising construction material selection to reduce environmental, social, and economic impacts through the use of Digital Twins and Blockchain. She also earned her Master’s degree in Environmental Engineering and her Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from UFRJ. Her academic experience includes research stays at Universitat Rovira i Virgili (Spain) and Western Sydney University (Australia), as well as teaching at Universidad de Santiago de Chile (Chile). She is also the author of a published book based on her Ph.D. research, further consolidating her contributions to sustainable construction.

Alongside her academic career, Dr. Figueiredo works as a civil engineer in Brazil, applying her expertise to real-world projects in structural design and sustainable construction. She lectures in postgraduate programs at UFRJ, where she coordinates a unit on Building Information Modelling (BIM), and serves as a contracted lecturer at the Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT), Australia, teaching both Higher Education and VET courses. Her expertise spans BIM, Digital Twins, and Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA), with a strong commitment to advancing sustainable practices in engineering and construction.
