DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING

1. Gain knowledge and skills in Civil engineering which will enable them to have a career and professional accomplishment in the public or private sector organizations

2. Become consultants on complex real life Civil Engineering problems related to Infrastructure development especially housing, construction, water supply, sewerage, transport, spatial planning.

3. Become entrepreneurs and develop processes and technologies to meet desired infrastructure needs of society and formulate solutions that are technically sound, economically feasible, and socially acceptable.

4. Perform investigation for solving Civil Engineering problems by conducting research using modern equipment and software tools.

5. Function in multi-disciplinary teams and advocate policies, systems, processes and equipment to support civil engineering.

1. Knowledge of Civil Engineering discipline: Demonstrate in-depth knowledge of Civil Engineering discipline, with an ability to evaluate, analyze and synthesize existing and new knowledge.

2. Critical analysis of Civil Engineering problems and innovation: Critically analyze complex Civil Engineering problems, apply independent judgment for synthesizing information and make innovative advances in a theoretical, practical and policy context.

3. Concept utilization and evaluation of engineering solutions to Civil Engineering: Issues Conceptualize and solve Civil Engineering problems, evaluate potential solutions and arrive at technically feasible, economically viable and environmentally sound solutions with due consideration of health, safety, and socio-cultural factors

1 Engineering knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.

2 Problem analysis: Identify, formulate, review research literature, and analyze complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering sciences.

3 Design/development of solutions: Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for the public health and safety, and the cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.

4 Conduct investigations of complex problems: Use including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.

5 Modern tool usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modeling to complex engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations.

6 The engineer and society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice.
