The program also supports minors and honors options, flexible credit systems, and international semester-abroad opportunities, fostering global competence and real-world relevance in the field of civil engineering.
Civil Engineering is the professional practice of designing and developing infrastructure. This may be on a huge scale, such as the development of transport systems or water supply networks, or on a smaller scale, such as the development of individual roads or buildings.
Rigorous learning of planning, designing, budgeting, surveying, construction management and analysis.Civil engineering careers often encompass a combination of all these elements.
Teaching of core Civil engineering practices coupled with recent trends, tools and techniques to enhance industry and society relevant knowledge
Project work is central to the subject, meaning that in the latter years of your degree you will be able to complete your own design projects individually or within a team.
Curriculum is designed with the involvement of industry experts, Human Resource Managers at top companies – coherent with existing job market demand; and national & international academic experts, ensuring that the courses taught are cutting edge and reflect the current state of industry.
More emphasis on teamwork is placed through regular industry-oriented project works, field works and undergraduate research practice to provide holistic knowledge.
Regular internships in top companies to teach what exactly is happening in the industry, which makes our students readily employable.
