Civil Engineering as defined by the London based Institute of Civil Engineers (ICE) is a great
art, on which the wealth and well-being of the whole of society depends. Its essential
feature, as distinct from science and the arts, is the exercise of imagination to fashion the
products, processes and people needed to create a sustainable physical and natural built
environment. It requires a broad understanding of scientific principles, knowledge of
materials and the art of analysis and synthesis. It also requires research, team working,
leadership and business skills. A Civil Engineer is someone who practices all or part of this
art.
Civil Engineering concerns the study of conception, design, construction and maintenance
of large public and private projects. Civil engineers build and maintain bridges, highways,
railways, tunnels, airports, dams, water treatment and distribution systems and large
buildings, along with many other structures. Environmental considerations, such as water
supply, pollution control and preservation of soil quality, are also a part of the course of
study. With thorough knowledge of both the principles of construction and the possible
environmental consequences of a structure, the Civil engineer's expertise is one that is
essential to our present Civilization and one that will become ever more valuable in the
future.
In a developing country like Ethiopia, Civil Engineering has great role and contribution to the
economic development and improvement of the living standard of the people. As
infrastructure developments are indicators of improved livelihood and ways of investment
attractions and tourism, contribution of Civil Engineering in this regard is very crucial.
Therefore, this area of study by which many Ethiopians would be produced to serve our
country must have clear focus areas that enable speeded up and sustainable achievements
in improving the countrys infrastructure facilities.
The biggest challenge for the Development of Africa in general and Ethiopia in specific is the
lack of sufficient infrastructures which inhibit further growth & development. And as part of
the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), all African nations including Ethiopia are
investing large sum of budget on building infrastructures.
In the Growth and Transformation Plan, Ethiopias development efforts will be pursued
through seven strategic pillars. The GTP sees rapid growth as key to achieving the
ambitious targets in employment and poverty eradication. Investment in growth-oriented
sectors will be expanded. The contribution of Civil Engineering Graduates is immense to
accomplish the GTP pillars. As indicated below;
3. Create favorable conditions for industry to play a key role in the economy;
Building roads, water supply and sewer system, power supply creating
favorable condition for establishment of Industry zones.
Building main roads, railways, runways that connect Ethiopia with the
international market and promote export of Industries.
Constructing the Industrial and related Buildings.
4. Infrastructure development;
Civil Engineers design and build Ethiopia's infrastructures such as rail ways,
highways, runways, bridges, water supply, irrigation and power dams,
treatment plants, different purpose buildings etc
Clients include private industries, municipal government, regional and
federal government agencies, and multinational conglomerates.
At the local level, Civil Engineers help communities plan for future
development by designing and building residential areas, business centers,
commercial districts, industrial parks, sports c
Complexes and high-tech manufacturing facilities. Working on multidisciplinary projects that touch upon the lives of the general public is one of
the distinguishing characteristics of a career in Civil Engineering.
GTP.
The Civil Engineering department aims to produce professionals equipped with relevant
knowledge, skills and attitude that would contribute to the development of the country.
Therefore, this is profession by which many Ethiopians would be produced to serve the
country.
The concern on competence and competence based education has been advocated
more widely in the 21st century than ever before. Quality education, education
relevance and international competition are among the typical features of the
century that are challenging the educational institutions and their curricula.
In view of that, the higher education sector has been internationalized; hence,
institutions and disciplines are expected to compete on a global level.
3. Program Objective
This program is aimed at training manpower required for the realization of the countrys
untouched Civil Engineering works. Well qualified Civil engineers with adequate knowledge

A Civil engineer needs to understand the water cycle near the surface of the
earth since many of the infrastructures built are one way or another are
affected by the same cycle. In order to design irrigation, water supply and
hydropower infrastructure, a need arises as to what amount of water is
available for direct use.

In order to insure food security and alleviate poverty, water resources
should be developed economically. Water storage and conveyance
structures are employed to this end. Hence, this module elucidates
techniques employed to design such structures safely and economically.
In order to ensure food self-efficiency in the face of increasing
population, it is essential to harvest crops at least twice or more times
annually.In order to ensure so, irrigation assisted farming is mandatory
in times of deficiency of rainfall. Hence, this module is justified since it
exposes the students with various methods of irrigation systems and the
infrastructure required for the same purpose.
This module is required in order to analyses such problems.

Students need to learn the basics of transport Engineering in order to
design highways on the basis of sound data.
To introduce students to the fundamental issues in transportation
systems theory, analysis, and design.
This module is highly justified for the very fact that it emphasizes on
the underlying principles of geometric design of highways and the
pavement necessary to carry the traffic load.
The main objectives of the module are to:
Familiarize students with the fundamentals of planning, analyzing,
and designing of basic elements of an integrated surface
transportation system. Basic elements of a surface transportation
system.
Equip students with the concepts and applications of geometric
design for rural and urban highways.
Make students acquainted with the principles of pavement analysis
and design and help them acquire basic knowledge and practical
prospective of highway materials, and construction practice.
.
Students will be able to identify components of the different
transportation modes and will be able to utilize design characteristics
of the driver, pedestrian, vehicle, and roadway to design
Students will be able to understand and apply the different geometric
design control criteria, and be able to evaluate and modify the
condition of an existing highway system.
Students will also demonstrate knowledge of properties of highway
materials, construction practice, and quality control.

Justification of the module
A Civil Engineering project involves the deployment of huge material resources
and human resources. The Construction could be either labour intensive or
machine-intensive. One way or the other there is a need to develop know-how how
to manage these resources scientifically in order to economize on both time and
resources. This module elucidates techniques and methodologies on how to
effectively make use of the usually scanty resources available for construction.
Module Objectives
The student will get familiarity with various construction methods for
building excavations, bridges, streets, etc. and organize project works into
tasks in order to schedule construction equipment and arrange the sequence
of construction operations at the planning stage.
Moreover, the gets acquainted with official contracting terms for the award
of construction performance contracts. Calculation of performance
indicators and establishing critical path network. The student will be able to
describe the framework of typical company forms and cooperative ventures.

The FinalSignature.date.
Year Project (Bachelors Thesis) is the culmination of the program and
should develop and demonstrate independent, methodological abilities as well as
provide the students with their first research experience.
The subjects for the Bachelors Thesis can be set in consultation between the Professor
and the student. Some works in cooperation with the industry are also possible.
The content of the Bachelors Thesis should be a further development of the work done
in the basis course and the focused study of the Bachelors curriculum. The supervisor
is responsible for fixing the conditions of the bachelors thesis. The selection of the
subject and/or supervisors is the choice of the students, i.e., there is no obligation to
connect the bachelors thesis with the focused study.
The bachelors thesis is undertaken during the tenth semester, and the students are
required to submit a written report and hold an oral presentation of their work.
Successful completion of bachelors thesis is worth 6 credit hours.
