The Department of Civil Engineering also offers a Bachelor's Degree (B.Eng)
in Civil Engineering under a twinning arrangement with the Queens University
of Belfast (QUB). The first year of this course will be conducted at ITB
with the subsequent two years being conducted in Belfast by QUB. This
arrangement is now in the process of being upgraded to (2+1) BEng in CE
and (2+2) MEng in CE and MEng in Environmental and CE. Under this new
arrangement, the students would spend Year 1 and 2 at ITB and the subsequent
one year (BEng) or two years (MEng) at QUB. The degrees are accredited
by the following Professional Engineering Institutions within the United
Kingdom Engineering Council:
• The Institution of Civil Engineers; and
• The Institution of Structural Engineers.
Course Aim
The main aim of the BEng programme is to meet the demand of Civil Engineers
in the development works carried out by public and private sectors in
Brunei Darussalam and worldwide.
Course Objectives
Successful graduates will be able to:
• pan, design and supervise civil engineering projects independently;
• undertake analysis and design tasks of civil engineering projects
using relevant codes and standards;
• take full responsibility of civil engineering projects and guide
team of technical staff for the supervision of civil engineering works;
• undertake research and higher studies leading to masters and doctorate
degree; and
• qualify for the professional development programme to become chartered
civil engineers.
Course Structure
The first year of this programme is conducted in ITB with the subsequent
two years (Years 2 & 3) to be conducted at the Queen's University
Belfast (QUB), UK. At the end of Year 2, students can choose the degree
pathway (which depends on the modules selection) that leads to BEng/MEng
in:
• Civil Engineering; or
• Environmental and Civil Engineering.
