The BSc program in Civil Engineering subjects equips students with project design and construction management.
It makes students competent in four areas of expertise: water resources engineering, structural engineering, highway engineering, and construction management.
Therefore, the program covers various topics such as planning, designing, contracts laws, safety, construction management, building systems, accounting, economics analysis, quantity surveying, land surveying, construction methods, materials, engineering structures, computer-aided drafting, and environmental sustainability amongst others.
