The purpose of this program is to provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge for a successful career in building engineering. The program is designed with a holistic approach that focuses on the development of both industry-relevant skills and academic competencies. The program offers an excellent opportunity for collaboration between different disciplines (Structural, Construction Management, Architectural and Electromechanical Engineering) and promotes an integrated approach to the teaching and learning of building engineering.
The program offers a diverse and rigorous curriculum that includes the fundamentals of structural analysis and design of reinforced concrete and steel buildings, as well as numerous topics in the construction management of building projects. The program also covers basic topics from different disciplines such as architectural design, energy-efficient building design as well as HVAC systems and technical installations in buildings to give students a comprehensive overview of the building industry. The program also integrates new technologies such as Building information modeling (BIM) that enables architects, engineers, designers, and contractors to model and share information about building construction projects in digital form.
