BTech Civil Engineering PDF

Bachelor of Technology (Civil Engineering)
The BTech (Civil Engineering) programme is offered in partnership with the Department of Civil and
Environmental Engineering beginning in August 2017. The curriculum for the part‐time BTech Programme is
formulated based on the current broad based fulltime B.Eng. programme but with stronger emphasis on
practice.
As this is a new programme, we are seeking accreditation from the Engineering Accreditation Board (EAB)
of the Institution of Engineers Singapore (IES). We expect to be provisionally accredited for the first 2 years
after the launch of the programme and full accreditation will be expected in about 3 years thereafter. With
successful accreditation, all signatories in the Washington Accord will recognize the substantial equivalence
of this programme in satisfying the academic requirements for the practice of engineering at the professional
level in many countries including Canada, United States of America, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, New
Zealand, Australia and others.
The educational objectives of the programme are as follows:
 Depth in fundamental knowledge of core civil engineering disciplines;

 Breadth in integrative skills to apply the knowledge gained;
 Appreciation of interactions between engineering, business and technology in modern society;
 Drive for life-long learning and continuous self-development; and
 Understanding of their role as civil engineers in the development of society at the national and global
context.
In addition, the programme ensures that graduates are equipped with the basic civil engineering core
competencies to meet the requirements for the practice of civil engineering in Singapore in accordance to
the Professional Engineers Board.
The student learning outcomes are aligned to those required by the Engineering Accreditation Board on
outcomes for civil engineering graduates and these are as follows:
 Apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering;

 Design and conduct experiments, analyze, interpret data and synthesize valid conclusions;
 Design a system, component, or process, and synthesize solutions to achieve desired needs;
 Identify, formulate, research through relevant literature review, and solve engineering problems
reaching substantiated conclusions;
 Use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice with
appropriate considerations for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental
constraints;
 Communicate effectively; (listening, writing and speaking skills);
 Recognize the need for, and have the ability to engage in life-long learning;
 Understand the impact of engineering solutions in a societal context and to be able to respond
effectively to the needs for sustainable development;
 Function effectively within multidisciplinary teams and understand the fundamental precepts of effective
project management; and
 Understand professional, ethical and moral responsibility in the workplace

fulfillment of graduation requirements being 60 MCs (including exemption of 20 MCs for polytechnic
diploma holders); and,
 Satisfy any other additional requirements that may be prescribed by SCALE, the Faculty of
Engineering, or the University.
List of modules – BTech (Civil Engineering), comprise:

a) All modules are 4MCs, except when otherwise stated.
b) A module with module code TCExxxx is equivalent to the module CExxxx, OTxxxx, ESExxxx and
TPxxxx offered to the full-time students. Subject to the approval from the Dean of SCALE and the
Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering, a student may select a full-time equivalent module in
place of any TCExxxx module.

Study Schedule
There is only one intake per academic year in Semester 1 (i.e. August). One sample study schedule for a
four-year candidature is shown below. This assumes the students’ work and other commitments allow them
sufficient time to properly cope with their studies. Students are strongly advised to slow down if necessary
so that they progress at their own comfortable pace.
Sample Study Schedule (4-year candidature beginning in Semester 1 of an AY):

1. The number of Modular Credits (MC) of a module is denoted by the number in the bracket.
2. Modules marked with an asterisk (*) are modules stretching over more than one semester and the total
number of MCs will only be given upon completion of the module.
