    UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMME

    Philosophy and Objective of the Programme

    The objectives of this programme have been;

    i. To give undergraduate students firm academic foundation in the


    basic principles of civil engineering.
    ii. To introduce them to recent developments in relevant areas of
    Civil Engineering, and
    iii. To equip them to meet the challenges of professional engineering
    employment in Nigeria in particular and the world at large.

    The philosophy behind this programme takes cognizance of the fact that for
    a developing country, the graduate engineer is likely to face all possible
    engineering problems, many outside his specialty, the programme is
    therefore broad based so as to give a mechanical or civil engineer for
    example the basic principles and methods of electrical and mechanical
    engineering. Thus, the emphasis in first two years of the programme is on
    common basics covering all departments of the Faculty of Engineering.

    The programme ultimately provides would-be graduate civil engineers with


    basic knowledge in the fields of structures, hydraulics, soil mechanics and
    foundations, transportation, public health engineering and materials.
    Graduates of this programme can find employment in the design and
    construction industries including highways, government establishment,
    research organizations, water supply corporations, ports and harbours.
    Postgraduate programmes are offered in four areas of specialization namely,
    structures, materials and construction, water resources/public health
    engineering and soil mechanics and foundation.

    POSTGRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAMMES

    BACKGROUND

    Postgraduate studies cover the following areas of specialization: Structural


    Engineering, Water Resources engineering, Construction Management, Soil
    Mechanics and Foundation, Highway Engineering, and Environmental
    Engineering. The programmes for these courses are planned in two phases.
    The first phase consists of lectures, field trips and laboratory work while the
    second phase involves guiding the students in techniques of research for the
    preparation of thesis, reports or dissertation on particular topics of their
    choice. The programmes provide the student with information on current
    practice and recent advances in the various areas of specialization. Research
    topics are based on relevance to the needs of the society and the need to
    advance the frontier of knowledge. The Department of Civil Engineering
    offers graduate courses leading to the award of PGDCE, M.Sc., M.Eng. and
    Ph.D degrees in various areas of specialization. This prospectus was
    prepared to provide vital information for all prospective candidates and
    already admitted students of the Department of Civil Engineering. The areas
    of specialization include; Water Resources, Environmental Engineering,
    Construction management, Highway Engineering, Construction materials,
    Soil Mechanics and Foundation.

    PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES OF PROGRAMME

    The postgraduate programme in Civil Engineering is designed to meet the


    need of the government and private consulting and construction firms in
    specialized and advanced areas within the Civil Engineering discipline.
    Furthermore, the staff of the department recognize the prime role civil
    engineering at postgraduate level can play in modern and future
    technological development of our country. A survey of fields of interest shows
    that postgraduate courses in Water Resources, Environmental Engineering,
    Social Mechanics and Foundation Engineering, Structural Engineering,
    Highway Engineering, Materials and Construction appear to be in great
    demand. These courses are fashioned to produce graduates who are
    competent enough to face challenging civil engineering problems of the
    developing countries.

    Postgraduate programme in civil engineering is aimed at:

    i) Training personnel in advanced and specialized fields; and


    ii) Meeting the need of specialists in various fields of civil
    engineering both in the public and private sectors.

    ENTRY REQUIREMENT

    Postgraduate Diploma in Civil Engineering (PGDCE)


    Candidates must possess third class bachelor degree in Civil Engineering or
    in any other field of Engineering. Candidates with at least second class
    bachelor degree in related fields of science are also eligible for Postgraduate
    Diploma. Students admitted into PGDCE programme will take all the fourth
    year and final year undergraduate courses. He or she must satisfy 75% class
    attendance to qualify for examination.

    M.Sc. and M.Eng.

    Applicants must possess (i) at least a merit level (above 3.5 grade point
    average) in postgraduate diploma in Civil Engineering or (ii) at least a second
    class honours degree or an equivalent qualification in Civil Engineering or in
    any other field of Engineering to qualify for admission into the M.Eng.
    programme. Candidates for M.Sc. are normally those with B.Sc. in a related
    science discipline.

    Ph.D.

    Candidates must possess M.Sc. or M.Eng with an average grade point of not
    less than 3.5 from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. Applicants who already
    possess a masters’ degree at the same level of pass from recognized
    institutions may be considered for entry to the Ph.D. programme.
