1. Background

Construction involves huge money invested by the owner that may give rise to risks at many stages as
the time consumed for the completion of the construction project may be some number of years. The
construction should prove to be safe and durable as the purpose of construction and type of users expect
it to last for longer time. Beyond all, quality control plays a major role for time and money to be
economized. Thus construction project has to be managed not to waste material, money, man power,
machinery, and time.

Infrastructure and housing is basic prerequisite for development of any nation and thus it is an important
contributor for the political, economical, social, and technological development of any country.
Understanding this; taking this into consideration, the government of Ethiopia has put high emphasis on
the development of infrastructure and housing where it allocates considerable amount of its capital
budget to it. Recent facts indicate that nearly 60% of the federal capital budget of Ethiopia is channeled
to the development of physical infrastructure and housing since these are the basis for the development
of other sectors. Moreover, the involvement of the private sector as partners’ results in increased capital
investment in the field, as well as, promoted the innovation of more advanced technologies and
materials in the construction industry.

Presently University of Gondar Institute of Technology, the Department ofConstruction Technology,

and Management arerunning BSc. programs inConstruction Technology and Management.

In recognition of the advances in the field of Construction,the Construction Technology and

Management Department has reviewed and drafted its new MSc program in Construction technology
and Management based on old universities experiences in the past and based on international
experiences in drafting as new sets of curriculum as compiled in this document.

The graduate program would thus offer advanced instruction in pure and applied sciences and
engineering with an emphasis on basic and engineering sciences involving students to engage actively in
research and towards country specific outstanding problem solving approaches.

The MSc. Program in Construction technology and management include topics of three main category
namely,Construction Materials Engineering, construction technology and construction project
management.

1
2. Vision oftheprogram

To achieve excellent standards of quality education in Construction Engineering works and management
of the works by keeping pace with rapidly changing technologies & to create technical manpower of
Global Standards in Civil Engineering specifically in construction technology and management with
capabilities of creating new construction techniques, managing and accepting new challenges.

3. Mission of the program

 To impart quality and value based education to raise satisfaction of all construction stake holders
and others impacted
 To serve society and Nation by providing professionals for professional leadership in the
Construction industry
 To create competent professionals who trained in implementation of construction Engineering
systems

4. RATIONALE OF THE PROGRAM

The Construction Technology and Management Department had started offering its undergraduate
degree program back in 2007. The need for initiating a postgraduate program has been initiated after 4
years oflaunching its undergraduate program, where a new curriculum is to be proposed and introduced
in 2011. The rationale behind the curriculum is to enhance the theoretical and practical knowledge of the
students and prepare them to enter into the professional field of Construction Technology and
Management with the required level of competence by including more analytical and
managementspecific courses in the program.

The most important rationale for developing a postgraduate program is therefore the development of
skilled human resource that is capable of handling more complex Construction Techniques and
Management problems with little or no guidance whatsoever, supervising the designs, management of
yet inexperienced engineers working in a project team and thereby acquire skills of professional
leadership. Such trained manpower is known to be instrumental to the effective implementation of
national development programs.

Other rationales include:

 Development of Faculty members that are capable of running a sustainable post graduate
program

2
  Enhance research activities through joint efforts of Faculty staff and post graduate students,
whereby staff members mostly play the role of identifying research topics and guidance and thus
get the time they need for working on many research topics at the same time.

 Producing skilled manpower (instructors) for emerging universities.

5. Objectives of the Graduate Program

The primary objective of the Graduate Program is to train high-level professionals capable of solving
practical engineering problems in the Construction sector, capable in managing projectsindependently
and which can conduct research in construction materials, in new construction techniques and methods
and applying effective construction management techniques.

(i) To train engineers in planning and management of large civil engineeringworks, which include
the administration of local and international contracts, feasibility study planning, appraisal of
projectsetc.
(ii) To valuate any civil works already constructed at any instant of time in needed.
(iii) To train construction engineers who have acquired thorough understanding on the performance
of construction materials, construction techniques, diagnosis of causes of structural defects and
method of rectification,study and fabrication of alternative local based materials for construction
of low cost and sustainable structures.
(iv) To train professionals capable of finding solutions in restoration and preservation of ancient
structures.
(v) To train instructor in the area of engineering.
(vi) To train and feed the construction sector capable construction project managerswith a capacity in
solving construction problems related to Cost Quality and Duration.

(vii) To enable students to understand and manage the quality, time, cost, value, risk, operational,
financial and contractual aspects of the construction process.

(viii) To provide students with the core skills and a thorough understanding of the responsibilities of
the professional construction project manager capable of contributing to an organization.

6. Resource Profile

To meet its objectives, the Department has strived in the past to carefully plan its resources. In view of
the sudden increase in the number of applicants to the post graduate programs in the recent and
considering the ambitious post-graduate expansion plan in the coming years, the Department has
determined that available resources will be inadequate both in terms of staff and material and the
3
 required number of staff, space and laboratory facilities to run the program effectively and is given in
the institute.
The huge Laboratory complex built and completed recently are equipped with modern testing machines
and equipments is a good opportunity for the graduate students to conduct valuable researches to
graduate and which will be applied for construction use.Regarding reference facilities, the Faculty
library has some collection of text books and reference material in the area. With the realization of the
university digital Library , students can be in a position to enjoy on-line services Such services are
indispensable for staff and students alike, especially final year students, while they are involved with
their thesis work and will highly contribute to quality assurance and timely completion of thesis
works.Regarding the Location under which the program has been launched is that it is in the area where
construction practices have been well practiced earlier in history. Specifically opening the program in
Gondar University which is in the historical City of Gondar with a number historical buildings will
make some difference in the area of historical construction materials and in the area of new compatible
materials in preserving and handling such heritages.
7. Graduate Profile
