Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering

The five- year Civil Engineering curriculum offers the graduates for professional engineering including a leading role in infrastructure planning and development, linkage of lease contracts, resources management, research and outreach and the protection of the environment. The graduate must have a strong foundation in the physical sciences and should consider the economic, social and environment significance of what he/she plans to build.

The first two-years, essentially common to all engineering curriculum, strengthens the physical sciences and mathematics background necessary for the through understanding of the fundamentals of the basic engineering courses.

The basic engineering studies supplemented by soils and materials testing, hydraulics and surveying laboratory works and demonstrations are concentrated in the third year in the preparation for civil engineering sciences and technology and allied courses. The department laboratories have complete soils and materials testing equipment and apparatus for determining the physical properties of soil and engineering materials and hydraulic apparatus or to demonstrate the basic principles, friction losses, energy equation and flow types and measurements with computer applications.

On the fourth and fifth years, the instruction emphasis is on the different civil engineering fields of structure with STAAD computer application, foundation, construction and water resources engineering. Studies on this engineering fields are enriched by courses on project feasibility study, construction project management with PRIMAVERA computer application, contracts, specifications and engineering ethics and laws.

The water resources engineering instruction is supplemented by hydropower model and mini-irrigation projects complete with diversion dam, regulator gates, distribution system and service area with irrigated upland crops.

The successful completion of the curriculum qualifies the graduate for professional opportunity as construction manager, project manager, design engineer, sanitary/environmental engineer, highway and transportation engineer and engineering teacher.
