The Civil Engineering Department is one of the oldest departments, of the Takoradi Technical University (TTU). The department started from a very humble beginning. In 1993, it was given the green light to run Higher National Diploma (HND) in Civil Engineering, under the Ghana Education Reform Programme. As an innovative and industry-focused department, the Competence Based Training (CBT) programme was introduced in 2006, to offer a comprehensive hands-on engineering education, to feed Ghana’s socio-economic needs, supplanting the long reign of the traditional pedagogy that had yielded little results. Since then, the department has experienced tremendous growth. In 2011, a two year Bachelor of Technology (B-Tech) in Civil Engineering was introduced in the department. The most recent additions to the department is the new four year B-Tech in Civil Engineering, to commence soon.
