Civil engineering is an aspect of engineering professional discipline that concentrates on the design, construction, operation and maintenance of both man-made and natural infrastructure. Civil engineers produce the facilities on which modern life depends, including roads, bridges, buildings, offshore structures, airports and embankments, as well as the infrastructure required for the supply of clean water.
Civil engineering is made up of sub-disciplines including transportation engineering, environmental engineering, structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, materials engineering, water resources engineering, geomatics engineering and more. Civil engineering provides a very wide diversity of opportunities!
The civil engineering undergraduate program at the Tamale Technical Faculty of Engineering is rigorous and hands-on. The program is designed to offer undergraduate students a broad-based education in the freshman and a more focused education in the senior years. The jobs available in the field of civil and environmental engineering are diverse, so a broad base is provided to prepare graduates for a variety of positions.
