WELCOME TO COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING

Bachelor Of Civil Engineering (Hons)

 UNITEN is the third on the list of universities that are very good, professional and generates excellent civil engineers. Civil Engineering Department in UNITNEN has quite large number of students of different nationalities. It is located in College of Engineering. Below is a picture of the the College of Engineering (COE). 

Why studying Civil Engineering?

Civil Engineering is basically the most important field in today's civilization. All the great structures and amazing skyscrapers are built by civil engineers. It is true that architecture engineers design those structures, but they can never be built without civil engineers. Civil Engineering does not only have one route of studying. It is necessary to complete several types of engineering courses compiled together under the name of Civil Engineering. Those course are:

Structural Engineering

Environmental Engineering

Hydrology Engineering

Hydraulic Engineering

Water Engineering

Soil Engineering

Highway and Transportation Engineering

Traffic Engineering

Project Management

What is Structural Engineering?

 Structural Engineering is concerned with the research, planning, design, construction, inspection, monitoring, maintenance, rehabilitation and demolition of permanent and temporary structures, as well as structural systems and their components. It also considers the technical, economic, environmental, aesthetic and social aspects of structures.

What does it include?

Structures can include buildings, bridges, in-ground structures, footings, frameworks and space frames, including those for motor vehicles, space vehicles, ships, aeroplanes and cranes. They can be composed of any structural material including composites and novel materials.

What do Structural Engineers Do?

Structural engineers carry out strength calculations and prepare drawings of structures to ensure they are strong enough to avoid collapse when loaded. The most common structures dealt with are buildings and bridges, but tunnels, walls to hold back earth embankments, large tanks and silos as well as mining structures, also form part of a structural engineer's work. Specialist areas include oil drilling platforms and associated infrastructure, shipbuilding and aircraft design.

Why Do Structural Engineers Work In Groups?

Structural engineers generally work in teams to look at the way a structure is to be built. They ensure buildings are strong enough to withstand natural forces and loads imposed by the nature of its use. Through research and the testing of both form and material, new solutions are developed which promote safer, more environmentally friendly buildings and structures.

Some structural engineers work in the design of structures (carrying out the strength calculations and supervising drawings), others specialise in the building of structures and some work in research. Structural engineers commonly work with architects, builders, mechanical, electrical and chemical engineers to ensure that all parts of the structure are safe and capable of fulfilling their intended function. They also make sure structures use appropriate materials efficiently.

ENVIROMENTAL ENGINEERING

  

What is Environmental Engineering

Water engineer is a generic title given to engineers who specialise in water-based projects; many have a civil engineering or environmental background. They may work with a variety of different liquids but generally deal with the provision of clean water, disposal of waste water and sewage and prevention of flood damage.

What Kind Of Activities Do Water Engineers Do?

A water engineer can expect to undertake a range of activities, including both technical and non-technical tasks. The exact mix depends on the location (office or site-based) and seniority of the post and the employment sector. There are, for example, differences between working in water supply or treatment and working in flood prevention, although many general engineering functions apply across the board.

Soil Engineering 

 

The job of a Soil Engineer is to analyze the soil structure of a proposed building or construction site and to understand problems of existing structures due to conditions of the ground underneath them. A civil engineer who wants to concentrate on soil investigation and analysis can be licensed as a Soil Engineer by meeting state requirements. Soil Engineers have often earned a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. 

Environmental engineers are concerned with protecting the environment by assessing the impact a project has on the air, water, soil and noise levels in its vicinity. This is done by studying the project's design, construction and operation, and minimising any adverse effects that it may have on the environment.

What Do Environmental Engineers Do?

Environmental engineers are involved in removing problems caused by past activity, such as cleaning contaminated industrial land so it can be used for housing. They predict what problems may be caused by accidents, such as oil spills for example, and assess what may cause problems for the environment in the long term.

They also plan and design equipment and processes for the treatment and safe disposal of waste material and direct the conservation and wise use of natural resources. They are involved in research and development of alternative energy sources, water reclamation, waste treatment and recycling.

Who Do they Work for?

Environmental engineers may work with government departments or in the private sector with resource processing companies as consulting engineers

HYDROLOGY ENGINEERING

What is Hydrology Engineering? Hydrological engineering, also called water resources engineering, is a civil engineering specialty offered at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Hydrological engineering is chiefly concerned with the flow and storage of water. Topics commonly covered include urban drainage, water supply, wastewater treatment, river management and coastal protection. Hydrological engineering also focuses on preventing floods and lessening the effects of floods, droughts and other natural disasters.

WATER ENGINEERING

What Do Soil Engineers Do?

A Soil Engineer investigates and analyzes a site for such qualities as soil characteristics, composition, and drainage. Soil Engineers also consider the weight-bearing capacity of the ground under a building's foundation. They evaluate the likelihood that the building will settle or shift over time.

Where are Soil Engineers Needed?

Soil Engineers' calculations are necessary both for designing a foundation for a structure and for designing the structure itself. Soil Engineers take borings and soil samples and investigate soil composition, drainage and grade, among other factors. This analysis is needed not only for buildings but also for bridges, levees, roads and reservoirs. A Soil Engineer's consultation may be sought when retrofitting an existing structure.

STRUCTURE ENGINEERING

    

 What is Highway Engineering?

A Highway Engineer a civil engineer who specializes in the design and construction of roads and highways

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

Electrical and electronic engineering impacts upon every part of our lives – communications, the environment, energy, entertainment, commerce, manufacturing, healthcare, transport…

As engineers, we are at the forefront of the constant challenge to make things faster, better, more affordable, more sustainable, and to make our lives healthier, more productive, and more enjoyable.

All our degree courses are structured to give you a sound understanding of the fundamentals of the subject in the early years, and then enable you to build your programme around your skills and interests, selecting from specialist modules.

First year

·        A core programme, supported by study groups and experiments in the electrical and computer laboratories.

·        A group project which establishes the basics of the engineering design process. You begin by de-constructing a simple electronic toy and using a circuit simulation program to understand how it works. You then propose and design some enhancements to the toy and try them in the circuit simulator. Finally you build your chosen design and test it in competition with the other groups. As well as developing some technical understanding, you’ll gain valuable experience of how collaborative design works, how to plan and manage projects and how members of teams take on different roles.

Second year

·        You continue to follow the core programme taking compulsory technical modules, and you can select two short course modules from Devices, Fields or Computational Complexity. You’ll also choose a language or humanities module.

·        The second year project introduces you to a wider view of engineering that considers economic, social and political factors. Read about some of our ‘life saving applications’ in the ‘Projects’ section.

Third year

·        You start to design your degree programme to fit your interests and skills in consultation with your personal tutor, selecting from a range of advanced subjects together with a business, humanities or language module.

·        a six-month assessed industrial placement or group project at Imperial College

Fourth year

·        You continue to select further specialist subjects.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Mechanical Engineering is surely the broadest of engineering disciplines.  Wherever advanced materials can serve mankind in innovative machines, or innovative devices and processes are needed, the creativity and professional skills of mechanical engineers will be in demand.  

All students studying Mechanical Engineering spend the first two years following the same core programme, which provides the fundamental knowledge and intellectual and practical skills that are required by all mechanical engineers. This programme includes developing your skills in workshop practice, and conducting your own ‘design, make and test’ projects in both years. Core modules studied include Computing, Fluid Mechanics, Materials, Mathematics, Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Stress Analysis, Heat Transfer, Technical Presentation Skills, and Management and Business for Engineers.

In year three you complete the core programme with two further modules (Machine System Dynamics; Thermodynamics and Energy), a literature review, and a major group ‘design, make and test’ project. You also select optional modules from a wide range that cover both technical and non-technical subjects. In year four you select a substantial individual project as well as choosing further optional modules that are taught at Master’s level. The modules available vary from year to year but may include subjects such as Design, Art and Creativity; Integrated Design and Manufacture; Aircraft Engine Technology; Combustion; and Vehicle Propulsion. You also have opportunities to take non-technical business or humanities modules in subjects such as languages, history, philosophy, or management studies, as well as modules taught in other engineering departments.

The course units in the first and second year form the core of the programme, and all must be completed. Most of them incorporate hands-on laboratory exercises. The Design and Manufacture units include a course on workshop practice in the first year, and group ‘design, make and test’ projects in both the first and second years.

Industry, transport, healthcare, defence, energy, information technology... just a few of the areas in which a mechanical engineer will be in demand. The 'machine' he or she designs might be a space station, a micro-scale surgical robot or an entire system of energy production and distribution. 

Wherever the solution to a real-life problem with conflicting requirements must be found, a mechanical engineer will be needed. Many find work in consultancy, tackling an ever-changing variety of tasks. The technical and management skills of the discipline are equally valued in the commercial world, where they work together to sharpen the competitive edge. 

In addition, fourth-year students can broaden their knowledge of other engineering disciplines by taking courses offered by other departments: these ranges from Medical Imaging to Nuclear Materials and Advanced Operations Research.

All our degree courses are accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers as the basis for Chartered Engineer status. The value of the degree can be further enhanced through an industrial placement: the increasing number offered to our students range from healthcare to defence and from nuclear power to aerospace.
