Introduction

Civil Engineering, a people serving profession, involves the application of engineering principles and applied sciences to the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of capital projects in a typical asset life cycle.  This includes buildings, roads, bridges, dams, airports, water and wastewater treatment plants, oil and gas production facilities, special purpose structures and any engineered structures for the comfort of mankind.

Students are exposed to courses in computer aided design, surveying, transportation engineering, environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, pavement and materials engineering, construction and project management, steel and concrete design, water and wastewater engineering.

In addition to the above courses, students are given the opportunity to major in one of these selected areas in the final year of their study namely:

• Offshore Engineering​\
• Environmental Engineering\
• Sustainability\
• Renewable Energy\

\

Programme Educational Objectives

• Engineers who are competent with the potential to become leaders in Civil Engineering and related industries.
• Engineers who are involved towards sustainable development in Civil Engineering and related industries for the betterment of the society.

Programme Outcomes

• PLO 1 – Engineering Knowledge: Apply knowledge of mathematics, natural science, computing and engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialisation to develop solutions to complex engineering problems.
• PLO 2 – Problem Analysis: Identify, formulate, research literature and analyse complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences and engineering sciences with holistic considerations for sustainable development.
• PLO 3 – Design/Development of Solutions: Design creative solutions for complex engineering problems and design systems, components or processes to meet identified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, whole-life cost, net zero carbon as well as resource, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
• PLO 4 – Investigation: Conduct investigation of complex engineering problems using research methods including research-based knowledge, including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of information to provide valid conclusions.
• PLO 5 – Tool Usage: Create, select and apply, and recognise limitation of appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools, including prediction and modelling, to complex engineering problems.
• PLO 6 – The Engineer and the World: Analyse and evaluate sustainable development impacts to: society, the economy, sustainability, health and safety, legal frameworks, and the environment, in solving complex engineering problems.
• PLO 7 – Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and norms of engineering practice and adhere to relevant national and international laws. Demonstrate an understanding of the need for diversity and inclusion.
• PLO 8 – Individual and Collaborative Team Work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse and inclusive teams and in multidisciplinary, face-to-face, remote and distributed settings.
• PLO 9 – Communication: Communicate effectively and inclusively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, taking into account cultural, language, and learning differences.
• PLO 10 – Project Management and Finance: Apply knowledge and understanding of engineering management principles and economic decision-making and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, and to manage projects in multidisciplinary environments.
• PLO 11 – Life Long Learning: Recognise the need for, and have the preparation and ability for i) independent and life-long learning ii) adaptability to new and emerging technologies and iii) critical thinking in the broadest context of technological change.
