Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering
College of Engineering offers various programs in engineering at the diploma, bachelors and master level with the goal on ensuring practicality of education. The objective remains to ensure that its graduate is well trained in engineering principles to meet and match the real-world requirements. The college offers programs in electrical, chemical, architectural and computer engineering.
The Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering curriculum is designed to comply with local education framework and benchmarked with international institutions. It includes 29 credits in basic sciences and mathematics, 103 credits engineering sciences and engineering design and communications skills, and 3 credits of humanities and social sciences excluding language and technical writing courses. Lab hands-on experience and emphasis on practical aspects are important elements that are integrated throughout the curriculum. It is designed to grant students the Bachelor of Sciences degree upon the successful completion of the four-year program.
The program is also offered in Diploma Degree upon the successful completion of a two-year program. The first common year with other college majors allows students to switch between the majors at the same college at the start of the second year of their study.
