Civil Engineering

The philosophy of the Civil Engineering programme is to produce graduates with high academic and ethical standards which will be achieved through the imparting of Civil Engineering technology knowledge and skills which are relevant for self-employment, creating of jobs and serving the needs of the nation, industry and community in general. This is to be achieved by providing an all-inclusive atmosphere without prejudice to race, religious or political beliefs.

The aims and objectives of the Civil Engineering programme as outlined in the NUC BMAS is to produce graduates who are resourceful, creative, knowledgeable and able to perform the following functions:

  1. Design a wide range of Civil Engineering projects and supervise their implementation.
  2. Design and implement Civil Engineering related components, devices and systems.
  3. Train experts, Engineering teachers and researchers in various fields through research and in-service training.
  4. Design and develop new Civil Engineering products and production techniques in industries.
  5. Install and maintain complex Civil Engineering systems for optimal performance in our environment.
  6. Secure the diffusion of Civil Engineering knowledge throughout Nigeria and the world at large.
  7. Adapt and adopt exogenous technology to solve Civil Engineering problems.
  8. Promote research and the advancement in the field of Civil Engineering.
  9. Exercise original thought, have good professional judgment and take responsibility for executing important Civil Engineering related tasks.
  10. Manage people, funds, materials and equipment while carrying out Civil Engineering related projects.
  11. Improve on indigenous Civil Engineering technology for deployment to the solution of local problems.
