The BSc Civil Engineering programme at KAAF University prepares the next generation of engineers to plan, design, build, and maintain the infrastructure that drives national and global development.
Civil Engineering is central to progress in every society — from roads, bridges, and buildings to water supply systems, sanitation, and environmental management. At KAAF University, we combine rigorous academic training with practical, hands-on experience to ensure our graduates are ready to meet the challenges of modern engineering.
The BSc Civil Engineering programme is structured over four years, combining theoretical foundations with practical training. Students begin with core courses in mathematics, physics, communication skills, technical drawing, and introductory engineering sciences. As they progress, they specialize in areas such as:
-
Structural Engineering (Steel, Timber, Concrete, Foundation Design)
-
Transportation & Highway Engineering
-
Water Resources & Environmental Engineering
-
Geotechnical Engineering
-
Surveying & GIS Applications
-
Construction Management & Entrepreneurship
Industrial training, fieldwork, and a final year project ensure that graduates gain hands-on experience alongside classroom learning.
By the end of the programme, graduates will be able to:
-
Apply mathematical, scientific, and engineering principles to solve real-world problems.
-
Design and construct sustainable infrastructure systems.
-
Use modern engineering tools and technologies, including CAD and GIS.
-
Conduct research, analyze data, and communicate technical findings effectively.
-
Work ethically and collaboratively in multidisciplinary teams.
