2. THE PROGRAMME
2.1 Name of Programme
The name of the programme is Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) in Civil Engineering. It aims at
producing graduates with sound knowledge in Civil Engineering
The Department of Civil Engineering started in July 25, 2012 (2011/2012 academic session) with
a vision to become one of the best in the nation in the near future. The philosophy of the
Department is to train engineers that are capable fulfilling the definition of Civil Engineering as “a
vital art working with great source of power in nature for the wealth and the well-being of the
whole society. The essential feature of which is the exercise of imagination to engineer products
and processes, and develop the people needed to create and maintain a sustainable natural and
built environment and requiring 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...”
With this mind-set in view, the Department aims to train engineers that would be capable of
analysing, designing, constructing and maintaining physical facilities for the development of the
environment; and also strive through the training received, to achieve the national goals and
objectives of industrialization towards self–reliance engineering education. This is to be achieved
in accordance to the NUC Minimum academic standard. The Departmental guidelines are geared
towards:
The development of a scheme in training and practice of civil engineering
Early broad-based training in general engineering and technology
Practical application of engineering, technology and manufacturing processes and
Close relation of the programme with industries in the country
The programme is structured in such a way that students will have opportunity to take courses that
would provide a basic understanding of all areas of civil engineering practice, while they can
concentrate in any of the following options in the final year.
a. Structural engineering
b. Geotechnical engineering
c. Transportation planning and highway engineering
d. Water resources and environmental engineering
10
• To teach students the fundamental concepts of Civil Engineering with which he can build
his career to the highest degree of professional competence
• To develop students in the application of accumulated technical knowledge, sense of
analysis, and creative design abilities, innovation and adaptability, and leadership qualities
• To provide students the opportunity to develop, after a basic understanding of all areas of
Civil Engineering practice, his special area of interest which include structural engineering,
geotechnical engineering, transportation planning and highway engineering, water resources
and environmental engineering, Civil Engineering planning, construction engineering and
management
• To provide a practical training in the industries and other Civil Engineering establishments
as preparation for professional practice.
The mission of the Department is in line with the mission of the university. It aims to provide,
through innovative teaching, research and community service, civil engineering education aimed at
producing a new generation of highly motivated, competent, skillful and innovative professionals
and students with a burning desire to tackle Africa’s developmental challenges.

7.0 EXAMINATIONS
This involves examination setting, conduct, evaluation scheme, moderation schemes – internal and
external for degree examination and the issuance of results.
Each lecturer sets examination for the course he/she teaches and such questions are vetted by the
Head of Department, who has the responsibility of moderating the questions with the cooperation
of the lecturer. For final year examinations, the set questions are sent to the University appointed
14
external examiner to moderation. The external examiner is expected to write and submit a report to
the Vice-Chancellor regarding his observations during the moderation exercise. The Department is
then obliged to accept the modifications to the questions by the external examiner. This applies
only to semester examinations and not test or mid-semester examination. Also, the external
examiner is called upon to assess the final year students projects.
The lecturer(s) of each course is/are responsible for drawing questions, according to the stipulated
departmental format, in the course taught. All examination papers and marking schemes are
subjected to internal moderation. The answer scripts are likewise subjected to internal moderation.
Results are only corrected after the Senate has given approval. The HOD collects and collates
students result complaints form through the departmental level advisers. The lecturer is required to
enter the corrections on the Student Result Complaint Form and the HOD, the Dean of Faculty and
the Senate Examination Committee must endorse the student result correction, in writing, before it
is updated on the student database. The student complaint form is shown in the Appendix.
15
7.8 Quality Assurance
The Department has a Quality Assurance Committee comprising all the Professors in the
Department and the Head of Department. They are to ensure compliance to Department standards
with respect to drafting of questions, preparation of marking schemes, and grading consistency.

Detailed Course Description – 200 Level
The 200 level courses are foundation engineering courses designed to expose students to the
fundamentals of the engineering discipline in a broad sense. It is believed that exposing engineering
students to the various aspects of the discipline in the first two years of their study, equips them
with enough knowledge to determine their inclinations in terms of specialisation at a later stage.
This view is further strengthened by the fact that an appreciable number of engineering students
have rural backgrounds which limit their reception of engineering and the sub-disciplines therein. It
is believed that after the second year, the wide engineering horizon would have been sufficiently
illuminated for such students, who are now better placed, to make a choice.
