UCSI大学

The Civil Engineering degree programmed at UCSI University is designed to cater to today’s modern world needs and respond to society’s escalating demands for a better quality of life. This programmed focuses on the development of theoretical concepts, practical engineering skills and teamwork, comprising a wide range of relevant courses – including structural analysis and design, geotechnical study, hydrology and hydraulic, highway and traffic, water and sewer systems – that also emphasizes management skills and economics, at the same time.

The primary objective of the engineering programmed at UCSI University is to develop creative and well-trained individuals who are able to communicate fluently and coherently, demonstrate awareness of financial and ethical constraints, use their engineering knowledge and skills to critically and creatively evaluate situations or projects, and solve engineering problems. The programmed is suited for undergraduate students who combine intellectual talents with a creative, innovative and practical outlook – students who seek a wide variety of opportunities and challenges during their university course and later on in their careers as well as those who wish to further develop their skills to effect change and improve the environment on a local and global scale.

In this programmed, students are also required to undergo industrial training under UCSI University’s Co-operative Placement (Co-op) Programmed at the end of their 2nd and 3rd academic years - to learn from industry leaders and familiarize themselves with the actual working environment. Towards the end of their course of study, students will undertake a one-semester capstone project to assess and gauge their understanding of their learning and the outcome of their formal education. They will also undertake a research and development project in their final year of study.

Students can pursue the following programs in the partner institutions as an overseas pathway:

• BEng (Civil & Infrastructure) (Honours) - RMIT University
• BEng (Hons) Civil Engineering - University of Queensland
• BSc Civil Engineering - University of Manitoba
• BSc Civil Engineering (Environmental Option) - University of Manitoba

Career opportunities

Civil Engineers plan, design, construct and maintain buildings, airports, harbors, roads, railways, bridges, and tunnels among others. Thus, Civil Engineers play a very important role in shaping and controlling the environment (e.g. water and waste, floods and irrigation, traffic management).

This programmed is excellent preparation for a career in Civil Engineering as it encompasses specializations such as structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, hydrology and hydraulic engineering, highway and traffic engineering, water and waste water engineering, and project management. Graduates of the programmed would be equipped for almost any profession that requires good analytical and professional skills. Common work avenues for Civil Engineers include working with construction companies, consulting companies, property developers, project management companies, water supply companies, research organizations, oil and gas companies as well as offshore industries, and other companies that deal with structure or infrastructure development and maintenance.
