Faculty Profile
Civil engineers and the facilities they help create form the groundwork of our civilisation. They plan and design, calculate and engineer, build, oversee, manage and evaluate construction projects ranging from waste disposal systems and industrial complexes to traffic routes and residential buildings. The study of civil engineering requires people who see the big picture, who bring a sense of responsibility to their work and can reconcile the technical, social, ecological and economic aspects of construction.
The first half of our Civil Engineering degree programme provides students with the basic knowledge they need in mathematics, physics, mechanics, and dynamics. They are provided with a foundation for topics of study such as structural design, materials science, surveying, geology, and hydromechanics.
The second half of the programme includes lectures, seminars and tutorials in structural statics; structural concrete construction; steel and wood construction; environmental studies; soil mechanics; hydraulic engineering and water management; water resources management and waste management; urban planning; road planning; traffic engineering and railway engineering.
Also taught are courses in construction management, economics, project management and building services engineering as well as construction business, economics, project management, and building services engineering.
In general, the second half of the programme supplies students with practice-oriented, in-depth knowledge allowing them to specialise in one of the five main fields of civil engineering (construction, water, traffic, space, business operations) or in an area of their choosing.
