Bachelor of Civil Engineering with Honours

The Civil Engineering Discipline expects its alumni, who after being involved in the industry or academia for at least 4 years to have mastered the following Program Educational Objectives (PEO)

PEO1: An analytical and critical civil engineering graduates who applies complex problems knowledge and skills based on professional standards in the discipline.

PEO2: An ethical professional in civil engineering who demonstrates effective communication, leadership and teamwork skill to provide services and sustainable solutions to the wider community.

PEO3: Demonstrate interpersonal and entrepreneurial skills for lifelong learning, research and career development in line with national education philosophy.

The Civil Engineering Discipline has adopted a set of 12 programme outcomes, which upon successful completion of the programme, graduates will be able to:

PO 1: Engineering Knowledge - Apply acquired fundamental knowledge of science and engineering to solve complex engineering problems with emphasis on field of Civil Engineering.
PO 2: Problem Analysis - Identify, formulate, conduct research to analyse complex engineering problems using principles of mathematics, science and engineering.
PO 3: Design/Development of Solutions - Design to solve complex engineering problems and systems, to satisfy requirements for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
PO 4: Investigation – Investigate into complex engineering problems using research-based knowledge and methods to provide sound conclusions.
PO 5: Modern Tool Usage - Apply correct techniques, resources and updated engineering and IT tools, to solve complex engineering problems, with knowledge of limitations.
PO 6: The Engineer and Society - Apply contextual knowledge and take responsibility to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues, societal, in professional engineering practice and solutions to complex engineering problems.
PO 7: Environment and Sustainability - Understand the impact of professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental conditions and demonstrate the knowledge for sustainable development and solving complex engineering problems.
PO 8: Ethics - Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of engineering practice.
PO 9: Individual and Team Work - Able to function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse groups of professionals and in multi-disciplinary environments.
PO 10: Communication - Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with engineering community and with general public, to comprehend and produce effective reports and design documentation.
