Description

The Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.Sc.) in Civil Engineering Systems prepares students to meet the new and developing challenges of the 21st century, including sustaining the environment and the natural cycles on which all life depends, and providing the necessary framework for human life and civil societies, such as energy, shelter, water and the infrastructure for commerce.

The B.A.Sc. offers three (3) specialisations:

Construction Engineering and Management Specialisation

This option enables synthesis through the application of previously thought content in the areas of the fundamentals of environmental, structural design, planning, constructing and managing construction processes. This objective is achieved by equipping graduates with the appropriate theoretical and practical methods to design, develop, construct, retrofit, commission, operate and maintain civil engineering systems, as well as, knowledge to provide technical skills in disaster management in the built environment. The option further builds on the thread of risk, safety, and ethics in civil engineering.

Environmental Engineering Specialisation

The option enables the synthesis through application of previously thought content in the areas of building elements design, construction engineering and management and environmental engineering processes. This objective is achieved by equipping graduates with the appropriate theoretical and practical methods to develop construction environmental management plans, sustainable and integrated infrastructure designs, recycling, waste treatment and disposal, contaminated land and pollution control. The option further builds on the thread of sustainability in civil engineering.

Structural Engineering Specialisation

The option enables the synthesis through application of previously taught content in the areas of building elements design, construction, environmental, geotechnics and earthquake analysis. This objective is achieved by application of these fundamentals to design earthquake-resistant building structures and remediate problematic ground conditions. The option further builds on the thread of design in civil engineering.
