Welcome New Students in 2009
Welcome from the Head of School

Welcome to The University of Sydney and particularly the School of Civil Engineering.
We will get our first opportunity to meet most of you during the main enrolment period of Wed 28 - Fri 30 January 2009.
You are entering a new phase of your life. Your university education and the networks you create will prove to be of utmost importance to your career. Our lecturers at The University of Sydney are world leaders in the field of educating young Australians and international students to achieve their goals. We look forward to working with you to acquire the skills necessary to excel as an engineer.
Acquiring these skills is not a one way street. It is your responsibility to ensure you take full advantage of all teaching available, to attend and participate actively in all lectures and tutorials, and to ensure assignments are submitted on time. By working together and sharing a team spirit, we will all stand proud on the day you enter The Great Hall to graduate and take your place as a civil engineer ready to go anywhere in the world.
I encourage you to participate in discussions during lectures, to interact with fellow students and staff and to engage in the social activities of the University.
I encourage you to take advantage of the resources The University will provide for you at enrolment time and in Orientation Week (Wed 25 - Fri 27 Feb) to help you in the transition to the University lifestyle.
I specifically invite you all to attend the "Welcome to Engineering" activities on Friday 27 Feb 2009. This map will help you find us.
