CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING

FOUNDATIONAL COURSE IN CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING provides an

understanding of construction materials and methods. Students are expected to learn about the different types of materials used in construction and the various methods of construction. This includes an understanding of the properties of various materials, their suitability for different types of construction, and their environmental impact.

COURSE OBJECTIVE:

To develop a fundamental understanding of construction materials, methods, and systems used in building and infrastructure projects.

To gain knowledge of the principles and practices of structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, construction project management, and sustainable design.

To learn how to apply engineering and construction concepts to analyse and design structural systems and elements.

To develop skills in project planning, scheduling, cost estimation, and risk management.

To understand the legal and regulatory requirements for construction projects and how to obtain necessary permits and approvals.

To understand the importance of sustainable construction practices and how to design and build structures that are environmentally responsible, socially equitable, and economically viable.

CAREER OPTIONS:

Construction Project Manager: A project manager oversees the planning, design, and construction of a project. They ensure that the project is completed on time, within budget, and to the required quality standards.

Construction Engineer: A construction engineer is responsible for designing, analysing, and testing the structural elements of a construction project, including buildings, bridges, and roads.

Construction Superintendent: A superintendent is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of a construction site, ensuring that work is progressing according to plan and that safety protocols are being followed.

Estimator: An estimator is responsible for determining the cost of a construction project by analysing the materials, labour, and equipment required.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) Specialist: A BIM specialist uses advanced software to create 3D models of buildings and infrastructure, allowing for more efficient design, planning, and construction.

Construction Safety Manager: A safety manager ensures that construction sites are safe for workers and visitors by implementing safety protocols and conducting regular inspections.

Construction Materials Engineer: A materials engineer is responsible for researching, developing, and testing construction materials to ensure they meet quality and safety standards.

Sustainability Engineer: A sustainability engineer designs and implements sustainable building practices, including the use of renewable energy, waste reduction, and green building materials.
