Bachelor of Science in Engineering

About

The University of Lunsar Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering offers an undergraduate programme that facilitates the development of critical analytical abilities and the necessary core of knowledge and skills for entry into the Civil Engineering profession or graduate studies. This body of knowledge includes the scientific procedures for formulating and testing theories and the procedures for applying theory to enhance welfare through engineering analysis, synthesis, and design. Civil Engineering plays a key role in the design, construction, maintenance, and management of society’s physical infrastructure, including transportation and communication systems, structural facilities for housing human activities, water resource management systems, natural resource development systems, and facilities and programs for environmental protection. The emphasis in Civil Engineering education is on fundamental principles of Science and Mathematics and their application to solving human problems. Civil Engineering activities interact in many ways with the natural and social environments within which they take place. Accordingly, the Civil Engineering programme strives to create an awareness of the ecological, social, economic, and political context of engineering and attempts to prepare the civil engineer for the necessary interactions with other professions and the public. An effort to instill an understanding of the role of the civil engineer in satisfying total societal needs is an integral part of the Civil Engineering program. Consistent with the general program goal of facilitating the development of student competence necessary for entry into engineering practice or graduate school, the Department has developed the following program objectives:

Within a few years of programmes completion, graduates of the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department should be able to combine skills gained through academic preparation and post-graduation experience so that they can:

●Exhibit technical competence through the application of engineering knowledge, problem-solving skills, and modern tools from multiple areas of civil engineering practice in the analysis, evaluation, design, and construction of Civil Engineering systems and system components.

●Apply skills of effective communication, teamwork, leadership, and professional and ethical behavior as complements to technical competence.

●Incorporate economic, environmental, social, and sustainability considerations into the practice of Civil Engineering.

●Continue their technical and professional development, which may include professional licensure, graduate-level education, continuing education courses, self-directed study, and participation in conference and committee activities.

Students are progressively exposed to Civil Engineering design, culminating in a focused design course experience. Classroom instruction in the Civil Engineering programmes is reinforced by instructional laboratories in the major areas of Civil Engineering practice.
