firstly have a look at this thread,

http://community.boredofstudies.org...ginerring-project-engineering-management.html

the only difference in those courses is that they are at different unis!!

the core subjects for B Civil Engineering will be the same across all the unis and will include things such as Mathematics, Statics&Mechanics, Material science, steel/concrete structure design...
In your 3rd and 4th years you will choose electives that will determine your specialisation (Construction Management, Structural Engineering, Environmental...)

At USÝD, once your in Civil Engineering, you can switch between the different streams after the first year, provided you have a >65 average mark.
so don't stress, once you are in and you have a better idea about what you like, its quite flexible and easy to change.

I dont really know what B Construction @ UTS is like....but I know that B Civil Engineering @USYD sounds a lot better ;)
