The philosophy of the department is not only to produce graduate Civil Engineers but also to produce knowledgeable and motivated Civil Engineers who like their foreign counterparts are capable of practicing the profession. To achieve this objective, emphasis is laid on marrying theory with practice. It was therefore pertinent that a department of Civil Engineering was established during the 2016/2017 academic session as one of the Departments of Engineering of the Lakeside University College. The developments in Civil Engineering over the years have been immense and hence to produce adequate Civil Engineers in our environmental setting is an arduous task bearing in mind that Civil Engineering is one of those professions which is better learnt by doing.
