The degree program is designed to meet the country’s need for top-caliber civil engineers who will spearhead nation-building through infrastructure development. The present curriculum introduces specializations with the objective of producing civil engineers who can address problems related not only to housing and infrastructure but also to problems in flooding, water crisis, pollution, urban traffic, geotechnical hazards, and disaster mitigation. The program balances theory and practice through classroom lectures supported by laboratory experiments, site visits, field trips and on-the-job training. Students are trained to become future practicing engineers as well as future researchers and consultants.
