BRIEF PROFILE: DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING
INTRODUCTION
The Department of Civil Engineering is one of the first academic departments set up under the Faculty of
Engineering. It currently offers academic programmer at undergraduate, Master of Engineering Science
and Doctor of Philosophy levels.
The department is sub-divided into four clusters within the Department, namely, Structural and Material,
Water and Environment, Soil, Geotechnical Engineering and Transport, and Mathematics, Survey and
Management. The department is actively engaged in R&D works with financial support from the University,
Government and other industrial grants. Many academic members of the Department are also pursuing
engineering consultancies requiring expertise in multidisciplinary areas.
The Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) programmer was introduced in the year 1956 as a 4-years programmer
under the Term System. The programmer was recognized by the Malaysian Public Services Department
(JPA) and the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM). In the 1996/97 academic session, a major change was
undertaken in the programmer where the Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) programmer were offered as a 3-
years degree programmer under the semester system (Sistem Pengajian Tiga Tahun, SPTT). In the same
academic session, the Bachelor of Engineering (Environmental) programmer was introduced as a 3-years
degree programmer. Both programmer was accredited by the Board of Engineers Malaysia on the 21
August 2000.
Starting from 2000/01 academic session, under the instructions from the Ministry of Education of
Malaysia, both programmer was offered as a 4-years degree programmer under the semester system
(Sistem Pengajian Empat Tahun, SPET). The first batch of graduates from these two programmer
graduated in August 2004.
For the betterment and continuous quality improvement of the programmer, a series of curriculum
review exercise has been performed. The curriculum review is done to align the programmer in
accordance with the requirements of the MQF, EAC and the industries. Following the curriculum review
processes, new curriculum structure was introduced starting from 2016/2017 academic session. The
programmer has been renamed as Bachelor of Civil Engineering.

PROGRAMME SYNOPSIS
Bachelor of Civil Engineering
Civil Engineering programmer is related to the human activities and our natures that include structures
and building construction, bridge engineering, highway, railway construction, airport, hydraulics works
and many more.
Unlike the traditional teacher-centered method, OBE is an educational approach that is more concerned
about the outcome (what students can do) rather than the process (what instructors did). This is believed
to enhance learning, and hence produce better graduates. For OBE to be successful, it is critical to
prescribe the expected outcomes, to measure the objectively, and to take corrective actions where
required.
(a) Course Outcomes (CO) ---what students should be able to perform at the end of each course
(b) Programmer Outcomes (PO) --- a composite set of abilities after students completed all courses
All COs will contribute to some of the POs. This is to ensure that upon completion of the courses, all POs
are sufficiently covered.

PROGRAMME OUTCOMES (PO)
10. Individual and Team Work Function effectively as an individual, and as a team member or
leader in a multi-disciplinary environment.
11. Life Long Learning Recognize the need to undertake life-long learning and possess the
capacity to do so independently.
12. Project Management and Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering and
Finance
management/finance principles and apply these to one’s own work
as an individual, team member or leader in a multi-disciplinary
environment.

Synopsis of Course Contents This course describes fundamental concept of hydrology, climate change
and sustainability of water resources followed by a review on the hydrologic
parameters such as precipitation, evaporation and infiltration. Hydrologic
design concept, of which the main focus of this course, is taught based on
the local guideline of Urban Storm Water Management (MSMA). This
includes design rainfall, flow estimation, flow routing and drainage and
detention design. The hydrologic design concept is furnished by
introducing the hydrologic simulation models.
