Programme Duration and Credit Requirements

M.Eng. Degree: 24 months (Part time) / 30 Credits. M.Eng. Degree : 15 months(Full time) /30 Credits. PG Diploma: 12 months (Part Time) /20 Credits. Usually candidates are registered only for the masters programme. However, they can opt to discontinue the programme after the first two semesters of study and still qualify for the postgraduate diploma in Civil Engineering/ Structural Engineering/ Water and Environmental Engineering/ Highway and Transportation Engineering upon satisfactory completion of 20 credits. Under extreme circumstances, if the performance of a candidate is considered unsatisfactory to progress to M.Eng. degree, registration may be changed to PG. Diploma by the Head of the Department on the recommendation of Programme Coordinator and Supervisors of the candidate.

Rationale for Master of Civil Engineering

Civil engineering is a continuously evolving field with new knowledge and new areas of specialisations being added to the mainstream civil engineering on a continuous basis. Masters programmes specialising in specific areas do not always provide flexibility to address a wide range of individual development needs of young graduates. The design and launch of the postgraduate programme in civil engineering catering to wide spectrum of individuals with specialisation needs and broad based education needs is the main objective of this programme. This programme aims to equip you with the theoretical and practical skills to enable you to analyse and investigate problems and to engage in design, development and research. Special attention is paid to the development of soft skills and self learning skills. With the flexibility to satisfy graduating requirements in either greater weight from taught courses or greater weight from research the candidate has an option to

CEPG 1204 Ground Improvement Techniques

Preloading with a soil fill, Vertical drains, Vacuum consolidation, Sand Compaction Piles, Stone Columns, Deep Mixing methods, Use of Geosynthetics in ground improvement, Ground improvement by Dynamic Compaction, Recent innovations in ground improvement techniques.

Course Structure:
Candidates have the flexibility to choose the mode of study either from the greater weight from taught courses or greater weight from research. Students following the greater weight in research mode are required to complete five modules and earn 10 credits from taught courses while, students following the greater weight from taught courses mode are required to complete 10 modules and earn 20 credits from taught courses. All modules are complemented by coursework and seminars where participants are provided the opportunity to put their knowledge into practice. All modules carry 2 credits and candidates have the flexibility to select their modules from the
