Civil Engineering is primarily concerned with the design, construction and maintenance of man-made structures placed on the Earth’s surface. Its successful practice requires the efficient application of mathematics and physics along with proper accounts and financial practices.
The BSc in Civil Engineering provides core competency in the essential engineering sub-disciplines and project management, and offers a wide choice of specialization within any of the five sub-disciplines in the final year of the programme. These sub-disciplines are highway, soils, structures, concrete and environment. Two coursework-based one-year courses are assigned at level two in structural designs and civil engineering designs. There is a capstone 1-year project during the final year coupled with a special investigative project.
