B.Eng. Civil Engineering

Overview
Civil engineers plan, design and supervise construction of many essential facilities and
structures such as bridges, dams, roads, buildings, ports, etc. Included in the study of civil
engineering are courses in water resources and environmental engineering that are directly
related to the solution of hazardous waste and pollution problems, providing potable and
economical water supply systems, and maintaining a safe environment.

Philosophy
The Bachelor of Engineering and Technology B.Eng/B.Tech degree programme in Civil
Engineering is based on the philosophy that the rate at which a nation progresses
technologically is determined to a great extent by the size, quality, motivation and orientation
of its science and engineering workforce. The programme should, thus, seek to train civil
engineers who can best contribute to national development. For this, they must be equipped
with the tools to understand, analyse, design and construct and maintain all possible physical
facilities that can possibly promote appropriate development by conceiving and adapting
techniques, processes and materials as necessary.

New
Engineering and Technology 232
In consequence of the above, the programme is structured in such a way that students will
have opportunity to take courses that will provide a basic understanding of all areas of civil
engineering practice.
