Objective
Provide an opportunity for graduate engineers to broaden and
update knowledge to achieve their carrier development needs.
Rationale for Master of Civil Engineering
Civil engineering is a continuously evolving field with new
knowledge and new areas of specialisations being added to the
mainstream civil engineering on a continuous basis. Masters
programmes specialising in specific areas do not always provide
flexibility to address a wide range of individual development
needs of young graduates. The design and launch of the
postgraduate programme in civil engineering catering to wide
spectrum of individuals with specialisation needs and broad
based education needs is the main objective of this programme.
This programme aims to equip you with the theoretical and
practical skills to enable you to analyse and investigate problems
and to engage in design, development and research. Special
attention is paid to the development of soft skills and self
learning skills. With the flexibility to satisfy graduating
requirements in either greater weight from taught courses or
greater weight from research the candidate has an option to
Usually candidates are registered only for the masters
programme. However, they can opt to discontinue the
programme after the first two semesters of study and still
qualify for the postgraduate diploma in Civil Engineering/
Structural Engineering/ Water and Environmental Engineering/
Highway and Transportation Engineering upon satisfactory
completion of 20 credits. Under extreme circumstances, if the
performance of a candidate is considered unsatisfactory to
progress to M.Eng. degree, registration may be changed to PG.
Diploma by the Head of the Department on the
recommendation of Programme Coordinator and Supervisors of
the candidate.
Course Structure:
Candidates have the flexibility to choose the mode of study
either from the greater weight from taught courses or greater
weight from research. Students following the greater weight in
research mode are required to complete five modules and earn
10 credits from taught courses while, students following the
greater weight from taught courses mode are required to
complete 10 modules and earn 20 credits from taught courses.
All modules are complemented by coursework and seminars
where participants are provided the opportunity to put their
knowledge into practice. All modules carry 2 credits and
candidates have the flexibility to select their modules from the
list below to satisfy the credit requirements for graduation.
Depending on how one completes the graduation requirements,
he/she has the option of graduating either with specialized
degree or general Civil Engineering degree. To qualify for
specialization degree, candidates , in addition to completing the
research in the selected field of specialization, are required to
complete half of the taught credit requirement from the
respective field of specialization as identified and notified to the
candidates at the time of registration. In this regards courses
CEPG1201, CEPG1202, CEPG1203, CEPG2213, CEPG2214,
CEPG2215 and CEPG2216 are considered for specialization in
Structural Engineering while courses CEPG1206, CEPG1207,
CEPG1217, CEPG2209, CEPG2211, CEPG2221, and CEPG2222 are
considered specialization course modules identified under
Water and Environment Engineering and CEPG1204, CEPG1205,
CEPG 1212, CEPG2213, CEPG2214, CEPG2215, CEPG2218,
CEPG2219, and CEPG2220 are considered for Highway and
Transportation Engineering specialization. For the convenience
of the candidate all efforts will be made to conduct lectures on
Fridays and Saturdays during the first two semesters.
