BEng (Hons) Civil Engineering

  Institution: Segi University

Description

Civil engineers are involved in all stages of development for much of the physically and naturally built infrastructure in our modern world. They have expertise in the planning, design, construction and maintenance of civil engineering projects. Therefore, it is vital that civil engineering graduates are highly skilled professionals that possess technical, managerial, organisational, financial, communication, research and critical analysis skills.

The SEGi University BEng (Hons) Civil Engineering is a broad-based industrial driven degree programme which equips students with the fundamentals of engineering and science, as well as the technical skills and knowledge required. This enables students to be literate, highly numerate and competent in all aspects of civil engineering while being able to develop creative strategies and manage complex projects.

Programme Objectives:

The Programme Objectives are to produce graduates who:

Are employable in the global construction industry and other related fields of the Built Environment.
Pursues post-graduate qualifications to satisfy a passion for research and life-long learning.
Participates in continuous professional improvement leading to professional licensure.

Programme Learning Outcomes:

Graduates are expected to demonstrate the following outcomes:

• Engineering Knowledge – Apply knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals and an engineering specialisation to the solution of complex engineering problems.
• Problem Analysis – Identify and analyse complex engineering problems, research literature and formulate substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences and engineering sciences.
• Design/Development of Solutions – Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design systems, components or processes that meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
• Investigation – Conduct investigation into complex problems using research based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of information to provide valid conclusions.
• Modern Tool Usage – Create, select and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools, including prediction and modelling, to complex engineering activities, with an understanding of the limitations.
• The Engineer and Society – Apply reasoning informed by contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to professional engineering practice.
• Environment and Sustainability – Understand the impact of professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts and demonstrate knowledge of and a need for sustainable development.
• Ethics – Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of engineering practice.
• Communication – Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
• Individual and Team Work – Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams and in multi-disciplinary settings.
• Life-long Learning – Recognise the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.
• Project Management and Finance – Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering and management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments

Career Opportunity

Career opportunities for civil engineers are vast and varied depending on their area of specialisation or interest. Potential employers include local and international consulting firms, construction companies and research institutions, as well as all levels of government.

Graduates of the BEng (Hons) Civil Engineering are well poised to transition directly into employment, pursuing job roles relevant to the civil and construction industry sectors, including civil engineers, construction engineers, design engineers, research engineers, project managers, or project directors.
