General Building Construction in Civil Engineering introduces the basic principles, techniques, materials, and practices used in the construction of buildings. This module lays the foundation for understanding how buildings are planned, constructed, and maintained.
Transport Engineering typically focuses on the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of transportation systems. The aim is to ensure safe, efficient, and sustainable movement of people and goods.
This course provides an introduction to the fundamental principles and practices of material testing in civil engineering. It covers the testing methods for construction materials such as soils, concrete, aggregates, asphalt, and metals. Students will learn how to determine the physical and mechanical properties of materials to ensure quality, strength, and durability in construction projects. Emphasis is placed on laboratory procedures, standards (e.g., ASTM, BS), data interpretation, and safety.
