Program Description

The principal aim of this course is to provide each student with the education and training necessary for entry into the civil engineering profession/industry at civil engineering technologist level. In particular, the course aims to develop each student’s civil engineering knowledge, know-how and skill and competence and the confidence to begin, in practice, to effectively take responsibility for the making of those judgments and decisions commensurate with the role of the civil engineering technologist.

Civil Engineers are involved in the assessment, planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance of physical resources such as road and rail systems, bridges and tunnels, docks, harbours, sea defences, airports, dams and reservoirs, water supply systems, pollution control systems, mines, and structures associated with energy supply. In addition, they are involved in ensuring the strength, stability and serviceability of building structures.

This course is designed to develop your ability to apply engineering principles and technologies to the solution of problems arising in the investigation, planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance of civil engineering works.

The course considers:

• The analysis, design, construction and maintenance of road and other transportation systems
• The occurrence and regulation of water and water flow
• The provision and maintenance of water supplies and sanitary services including environmental pollution control
• The analysis, design, construction and maintenance of civil engineering and building structures, including bridges and their foundations
• The financial and managerial topics common to all civil engineering courses

As a student on this course you will acquire skills in the following areas:

• Civil engineering drawing and detailing (manual and computer-aided)
• Materials specification and testing
• Surveying and setting out; Measurement and costing of civil engineering work
• Civil engineering work organisation
• Document preparation and interpretation
• Computer-aided analysis, design and draughting

Career Options

Graduates may work in structural, water, public health and geotechnical branches of the Civil Engineering industry. As well as developing knowledge in geotechnical, environmental and structural engineering the course is focused on improving employability and self management skills.
