The
Department of Civil Engineering at Institut Teknologi Brunei (ITB) was
established in 1998 as a pioneer in providing higher education in the
field of Civil Engineering in Brunei Darussalam. It accepted its first
intake of students (ITB Intake 14) in August of the same year for the
course Higher National Diploma in Civil Engineering. The course is accredited
by the Brunei Darussalam Technical and Vocational Education Council (BDTVEC).
In August 2001, the Department of Civil Engineering started to offer a Bachelor's Degree (BEng) in Civil Engineering under a twinning arrangement with Queen's University Belfast (QUB) in the UK. Under this ITB-QUB twinning programme (1+2), the students would spend their first year in ITB and the subsequent two years of their study in QUB.
In July 2004, the department added a new HND programme: HND in Construction Engineering and Management. This HND programme is also accredited by BDTVEC.
The department is active in developing its teaching programme to continue to meet the demands of the local construction industry. We maintain regular dialogues with the local industry and conduct targeted survey to identify these demands. This approach will ensure the continual high rate of employment and relevance of our successful graduates.
Currently, the department is in the process of carrying out further development to the existing HND programme. The HND CEM has now been amended by streamlining it to focus on Construction Management and Quantity Surveying skills. The HND CE will undergo a major revision and there will be a change in the syllabus structure and content. This will commence in July 2008. The (1+2) BEng in Civil Engineering arrangement with QUB is also 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 department is also capable of offering consultancy services to engineering organisations in Brunei Darussalam. Most of our staff are active in research and development activities and would offer short courses (such as AutoCad) each year. An example of the research carried out at ITB is the Low Energy House project.
