Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering 工學學士(土木工程)
BEng(CivE)
Short Description
Civil Engineering is both a science and an art that involves the utilization of natural resources and power for the benefit of humankind. Civil Engineers are responsible for the design, construction, and management of our infrastructure and built environment, ensuring that our buildings, roads, railways, bridges, slopes, dams, and tunnels, are safe and sustainable. They also oversee stormwater drainage systems to prevent flooding, collect and properly treat wastewater to protect the environment, and ensure that all infrastructure components function in a safe, effective, and sustainable manner.
Our programme aims to equip students with a solid foundation in the modern civil engineering profession through five core areas: Structural Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Transportation Engineering, and Infrastructure Construction Management. Contemporary technologies such as building information modeling, modular integrated construction, advanced building materials, and artificial intelligence are incorporated into the curriculum, enabling graduates to offer innovative solutions to practical problems through planning, design, construction, management, and control.
Our programme emphasizes active learning, capstone experiences, hands-on activities, internships, exchange and research-based studies. These opportunities allow students to develop lifelong learning skills that will help them excel in their careers as competent Civil Engineers.
