Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Civil Engineering

This programme has been developed to produce civil engineering professionals who are well-equipped with knowledge, practical and leadership skills in response to the manpower requirements arising from the major infrastructure projects and the aspirations for degree study of secondary school graduates.  It will develop students’ problem-solving, teamwork, communication, and leadership / management skills as well as their ethical attitudes.  The programme covers a broad range of professional knowledge related to civil and structural, geotechnics, environment, hydraulics, transport and infrastructure, and management. The learning experience is further enriched by the 3-month long work-integrated learning and 80 hours of Building Information Modeling trainings, along with a general education study developed to prepare for a career.  Graduates from this programme will be professionally competent as well as socially and globally responsible.
