CIVIL ENGINEERING
The Civil Engineering programme aims at providing a challenging and stimulating educational programme that will create a lasting learning experience for the student. It also prepares the student to offer competent professional services in the field of civil engineering and other related professional disciplines in the society.
At the end of the programme, the student shall be expected to:
- Develop the understanding of the physics and mechanics of the physical world to appreciate the approximating and simplifying nature of the idealisations that are used in the formulation and solution of engineering problems.
- Develop the ability to make rational civil engineering decisions based on available relevant evidence.
- Appreciate the conceptual and creative aspects of civil engineering design.
- Appreciate professional obligations, responsibilities and ethics, in relation to the needs of society, how the quality of life can be improved and sustained through advances in technology.
- Develop clarity and style in professional communication and to develop simple skills of management, planning, organisation and teamwork.
- Appreciate the impact of various civil engineering activities on the environment.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Since engineering involves science and intensive calculations in almost all course areas, it is expected that to gain acceptance into the programmes there should be set educational requirements or criteria in terms of academic qualification in science and mathematics leading to research development and innovation. Therefore A minimum of Six (6) credits in the WACSSE including English, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry is expected from each of the students submitting application forms.
