WELCOME TO THE DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING
Programme Philosophy
In consonance with the national goals and objectives of industrialisation and self reliance, the undergraduate Civil Engineering programme is geared towards: early broad based training in general engineering and technology; the development of a thorough engineering practice after training; practical application of Civil Engineering in meeting the basic human needs; and close association of the programme with engineering industries in the country. Graduates of the Civil Engineering programme should have acquired high academic standards with adequate practical background to be of immediate value to industry and the nation in general.
The programme is structured in such a way that students will have the opportunity to take courses that will provide a basic understanding of all areas of Civil Engineering practice while they can concentrate on any of the following options in the final year: Structural Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Transportation Engineering, Water Resources and Environmental Engineering and Construction Engineering.
