Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering
Introduction:
Civil engineering is the field of engineering that deals with a wide range of sub-specializations such as structural engineering, highway and transportation engineering, hydraulic and hydraulic structures, geotechnical engineering, environmental engineering, water supply and waste water systems, hydrology, construction technology and construction management and runoff estimates. In that respect, in accordance to international trends, civil engineering students are expected to have knowledge of all the above fields during their study course. Bachelor of Science program in Civil Engineering lays a heavy emphasis on practical application of knowledge, while at the same time recognizes the importance of development of correct attitudes alongside theoretical and intellectual development of the graduate engineer This curriculum is designed to equip graduates to face the challenge of modern engineering practice. Both the theoretical and practical aspects of the various civil engineering sub-specialties will be covered through the course of study enabling the graduates to plan, analyze, design and execute civil engineering projects. Modern approaches, technologies and practical applications in the stated areas are emphasized. Thus technical instruction with modern instrumentation, hardware, and software is reinforced with foundation courses emphasizing written and oral communication, and physical sciences. All of the instruction is presented with problem solving in mind and with a strong emphasis on applications and critical thinking.
Career Opportunities:
Graduates can seek employment in a wide range of civil engineering specialties. These include bridge and highway design, construction management, geotechnical engineering, hydraulic systems design, land development, pollution control, and structural design. Employment opportunities will exist with private consulting firms, design/construction businesses and government agencies, including Ministries of Planning, Infrastructures, Irrigation, Dams and Electricity, Transportation, Highway and Bridges, Armed Forces, and Interior. Local municipality planning and engineering agencies will also offer opportunities for employment. Graduates seeking self-employment opportunities will be aided by education leading to licensure as a professional engineer.
Program Goals and Outcomes:
The main goals of this Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering Program are:

To prepare graduate engineers who can accomplish the design and construction of buildings and infrastructure facilities, using professional considerations.
To achieve a practical orientation of the graduate engineers.
To prepare the graduate engineers with sound knowledge in the fundamentals so as to enable them to participate in applied theoretical research as well as consultancy services.
To develop the necessary skills among graduate engineers as a basis for employment and further studies.
To develop appropriate attitudes, initiative and creative thinking oriented to the world of work.

Program expected Outcomes:
On completion of the course, graduates of this program should be able to:

Select and apply the knowledge, techniques, skills, and modern tools to broadly defined civil engineering activities.
Select and apply knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to civil engineering technology problems that require the application of principles and applied procedures or methodologies.
Understand how to conduct standard tests and measurements; be able to analyze and interpret experimental results and apply them to improve processes.
Design systems, components, or processes for broadly defined civil engineering problems.
Function effectively as a member or leader in a team.
Identify, analyze, and solve defined civil engineering problems.
Communicate effectively regarding defined civil engineering activities.
Understand the need for and engage in self-directed, continuing professional development.
Demonstrate an understanding of and a commitment to professional and ethical responsibilities, including a respect for diversity.
Understand the impact of civil engineering technology solutions in a societal and global context.
Exhibit a commitment to quality, timeliness, and continuous improvement.<.li>
