1. Background of Civil Engineering
Infrastructure is the thing that supports our daily life-access to drinking water and shelter
from the weather, roads and harbors, railways and airports, hospitals, sports stadiums and
schools. Infrastructure adds to our quality of life, and because it works, we take it for
granted. Only when parts of it fail, or are taken away, do we realize its value. Civil engineers
worldwide endeavor to overcome the challenges of creating and maintaining infrastructure
for today, and for future generations.
Civil Engineering as defined by the London based Institute of Civil Engineers (ICE) is a great
art, on which the wealth and well-being of the whole of society depends. Its essential
feature, as distinct from science and the arts, is the exercise of imagination to fashion the
products, processes and people needed to create a sustainable physical and natural built
environment. It requires a broad understanding of scientific principles, knowledge of
materials and the art of analysis and synthesis. It also requires research, team working,
leadership and business skills. A Civil Engineer is someone who practices all or part of this
art.
Civil Engineering concerns the study of conception, design, construction and maintenance
of large public and private projects. Civil engineers build and maintain bridges, highways,
railways, tunnels, airports, dams, water treatment and distribution systems and large
buildings, along with many other structures. Environmental considerations, such as water
supply, pollution control and preservation of soil quality, are also a part of the course of
study. With thorough knowledge of both the principles of construction and the possible
environmental consequences of a structure, the Civil engineer's expertise is one that is
essential to our present Civilization and one that will become ever more valuable in the
future.
In a developing country like Ethiopia, Civil Engineering has great role and contribution to the
economic development and improvement of the living standard of the people. As
infrastructure developments are indicators of improved livelihood and ways of investment
attractions and tourism, contribution of Civil Engineering in this regard is very crucial.
Therefore, this area of study by which many Ethiopians would be produced to serve our
country must have clear focus areas that enable speeded up and sustainable achievements
in improving the country’s infrastructure fa

2. Rationale of the Civil Engineering Program
Civil Engineers are Leaders in the conception, Design, Construction, and Maintenance of the
Infrastructure on which the society depends. Civil engineers build and maintain bridges,
highways, railways, tunnels, airports, dams, water treatment and distribution systems and
large buildings, along with many other structures. Civil engineers work on environmental
projects, such as ecological restoration, waste containment, and soil remediation sites or
design of a safe and efficient transportation system. With thorough knowledge of both the
principles of construction and the possible environmental consequences of a structure, the
Civil engineer's expertise is one that is essential to our present Civilization and one that will
become ever more valuable in the future.
The biggest challenge for the Development of Africa in general and Ethiopia in specific is the
lack of sufficient infrastructures which inhibit further growth & development. And as part of
the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), all African nations including Ethiopia are
investing large sum of budget on building infrastructures.
In the Growth and Transformation Plan, Eth through seven strategic pillars. The GTP sees rapid growth as
key to achieving the
ambitious targets in employment and poverty eradication. Investment in growth-oriented
sectors will be expanded. The contribution of Civil Engineering Graduates is immense to
accomplish the GTP pillars. As indicated below;

hands-on exercises as well as quizzes and tests to insure continuous assessment and
student/learner cantered approach. Module/ Course specific teaching methods will be
given for each course.
8.2 Attendance Policy:
A student is required to attend all lecture, laboratory and practical sessions as well as field
work of courses, except for courses in which earning of credits through examination alone is
accepted. Except for extenuating circumstances, students are required to maintain a
minimum of 80% attendance to earn credit in the given course. However academic units
may not allow the 20% non-attendance provision for certain portion of a course, such as
laboratory or field experiences judged academically indispensable for the student.
8.3 Assessment:
Assignments, report, end-of-semester examinations, dissertations, projects, etc. with their

percentage contribution to the final assessment is provided in each course with a
module/course outline (which will be available to students before the module begins).
Continuous assessment accounts for a minimum of 50% and final exam (summative) 50%,
continuous assessment should comprise at least five (5) different assessment techniques.

A Civil engineer needs to understand the water cycle near the surface of the
earth since many of the infrastructures built are one way or another are
affected by the same cycle. In order to design irrigation, water supply and
hydropower infrastructure, a need arises as to what amount of water is
available for direct use.
Rationale of the
module Water is delivered to the point of use either in closed conduits or open
channels. The sizing of these conveyance structures requires sound
understanding of continuity equation, conservation of momentum, and
conservation of energy and their application.
