Aim
The aim of the degree programme is to provide students with a sound knowledge and understanding
of the subject of Civil Engineering and the potential to practise in a range of contexts, with an
awareness of their responsibilities to society and the environment. Graduates should be capable of
becoming a professional civil engineer in governmental, industrial and commercial organisations
worldwide, follow a postgraduate route or apply the skills they have learnt in a range of other
careers.
Objectives
The programme has been designed to enable students to

2.

solve civil engineering problems in practice by applying fundamental knowledge of

mathematics, science, and engineering and by using modern engineering techniques, skills
and tools, particularly recognising the role that computers play in engineering;
identify, formulate and solve civil engineering problems, particularly the planning, design,
construction and operation of systems, components or processes that meet specified
performance, cost, time, safety and quality needs and objectives;
obtain a broad education necessary to understand the impact of civil engineering solutions in
a global, societal and environmental context consistent with the principles of sustainable
development;
design and conduct experiments and to analyse and interpret data within the various civil
engineering disciplines;
function and communicate effectively both individually and within multidisciplinary teams;
obtain a solid understanding of professional and ethical responsibility and a recognition of
the need for and ability to engage in lifelong learning; and
experience an academic environment that facilitates and encourages learning and retention.

Assessment
The assessment mode for each module will be based on one or a combination of the following:
Examination
Assignments
Mini projects
Practicals
Presentations
Attendance to seminars
The overall assessment mode for each module is given in the detailed programme structure.
Assessment will be based on a written examination 3-hour duration for modules carrying 4 - 6
credits and on continuous assessment done during the year. The continuous assessment will count
for 30 - 40% of the overall percentage mark of the module(s). In addition to Practicals (P) and
Tutorials (T), there will be a component of Mini Projects (MP) and oral presentations.

An overall total of 40% for combined assessment and written examination components would be
required to pass the module, without minimum thresholds within the individual continuous
assessment and written examination.
Special examinations (e.g. class tests) will be arranged at the end of semester 1 or semester 2 for
exchange students who have registered only for one semester. In case of yearly modules, credits will
be assigned on a pro-rata basis.
