Civil Engineering
The course in Civil Engineering is aimed at providing broad based
knowledge, training, skills and experience in the areas required
for practice in civil engineering. Upon satisfactory completion of the course students should be able
to practise in areas requiring skills for planning, design and construction
of buildings and bridges, dams, harbours, water supply systems,
waste management systems, airports, roads, tunnels and railways.
Graduates, therefore, will be able to integrate technical, planning,
organisational, management, and financial skills, with an emphasis
on those areas as their talents allow.
The degree can be combined with Environmental or Mining Engineering in second year. Double degrees are also available.
The following subjects must be completed
in order to qualify for the Civil Engineering degree.
