ABOUT THIS PROGRAMME
The Diploma in Civil Engineering Programme is designed to provide the engineering profession with skilled and competent civil engineering technical assistants. It also paves the way for continuing education for the students. It prepares students with a solid foundation not only in theoretical concepts but also in engineering skills. This programme offers students a wide range of civil engineering courses such as structures, geotechnical engineering, traffic and highway engineering, water and wastewater and construction management.
Civil Engineering is one the oldest fields of engineering that has contributed immensely to our modern living.
Is this programme for me?
Civil engineering can be an exciting career. Therefore, ask yourselves:
- Are you interested in high rise buildings, highways, bridges and how they are constructed?
- Are you a natural problem solver?
- Do you communicate well with others and work productively in a team environment?
- Are you comfortable leading and motivating others?
- Are you willing to constantly learn new things?
If the answers are “yes”, then pursuing a diploma in civil engineering is the perfect choice.
What will I learn?
Students are provided access to use certain equipment during lectures which are used in the industry. Thus, students get to acquire hands-on skills.
There are also activities conducted outside the classroom where students can participate in events, projects and competitions.
This is a platform to give an extra edge they need to boost their confidence as they apply what they have learned in the classroom to real challenges.
What should I expect?
Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including roads, canals, dams, and buildings.
Students will be equipped with a solid foundation not only in theoretical concepts but also in engineering skills.
Graduates are expected to attain good technical skills such as technical drawing, civil engineering laboratory practice, interpersonal communication besides fundamental civil engineering knowledge. This would equip them with the capability to work independently or assist engineers in decision making related to civil engineering problems.
