Diploma in Civil Engineering

Diploma in Civil Engineering curriculum is designed to comply with local education framework and benchmarked with international institutions. It includes courses in basic sciences and mathematics, engineering sciences and design, communications skills, and social sciences. 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 diploma degree upon the successful completion of the 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.
The University, College, and Program requirements for this program are listed in the college introductory pages.

Detail

Program Objectives

The objectives of the program are to:

  • Provide students with a broad purposeful education targeting fundamental principles and concepts of civil engineering.
  • Endow students with the technical skills required to forge successful careers in the various civil engineering disciplines.
  • Develop and distribute, across the curriculum, open-ended activities that stimulate students’ creativity.
  • Commit to continually improve the curriculum to induce the latest and best practices in civil engineering education while conforming to the established standards of the national and international bodies.
  • Affix high priority to continually improve the learning conditions for students to attain the mathematical, scientific, computational, technical, and experimental skills required to formulate and solve multidisciplinary, complex, contemporary, and socially relevant civil engineering problems.
  • Inspire students to embrace the principles of life-long learning and endow them with the credentials that enable them to pursue higher education in reputable institutions.
  • Engage students in activities that harness their social skills so that they can comfortably work in multidisciplinary teams, effectively communicate their ideas and positions, and successfully assume leadership roles in the arena of their professional life.
  • Strengthen students’ understanding of social, economic, professional, ethical, and environmental issues in an interconnected world.
