BEng Civil Engineering Science Programme (B6CISQ)

The qualification aims to develop an engineering intellectual who can identify, assess, and formulate the engineering needs of the Society at large, and research and solve the identified engineering problems creatively and innovatively, by applying scientific, mathematical, engineering, economic and other relevant principles and methods.

The qualification prepares students for an engineering science, design and project-based career through fundamental understanding, use and appropriate application of engineering methods, skills, tools, and information technology. The qualification also provides a platform for lifelong learning.
