Programme Overview
The HND Civil Engineering programme is a three-year full-time programme of study. Students are taken through both theoretical education and practical training. The practical training involves competence training in the use of basic civil engineering equipment for soil mechanics and geotechnical works in the road sector, the use of survey equipment, and water quality analysis. Students are trained to use basic civil engineering software for product design and simulation. Through our well-structured industrial attachment and internships, students are exposed to an industrial setting where they learn how to apply acquired knowledge and skills to solve real industrial problems. This builds their confidence as in-coming Civil Engineers and prepares them for the real world of work Principal courses
a. Fluid Mechanics
b. Hydraulics engineering
c. Geotechnical engineering
d. Highway engineering
e. Transportation engineering
f. Geographic information system (GIS)
Laboratory, Workshops and Research Work
The department has well-equipped laboratories and workshops for training the practical component of the programme. The laboratories include Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Lab, Fluid Mechanics Lab, Thermal Fluids Lab, water quality lab and Computer simulating lab. The workshops are also equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and Machine. Our research focuses on the following areas: soil and Geotechnical analysis, water quality, structures, remote sensing and GIS, climate change.
