1. Background of Civil Engineering

Infrastructure is the thing that supports our daily life-access to drinking water and shelter
from the weather, roads and harbors, railways and airports, hospitals, sports stadiums and
schools. Infrastructure adds to our quality of life, and because it works, we take it for
granted. Only when parts of it fail, or are taken away, do we realize its value. Civil engineers
worldwide endeavor to overcome the challenges of creating and maintaining infrastructure
for today, and for future generations.
Civil Engineering as defined by the London based Institute of Civil Engineers (ICE) is a great
art, on which the wealth and well-being of the whole of society depends. Its essential
feature, as distinct from science and the arts, is the exercise of imagination to fashion the
products, processes and people needed to create a sustainable physical and natural built
environment. It requires a broad understanding of scientific principles, knowledge of
materials and the art of analysis and synthesis. It also requires research, team working,
leadership and business skills. A Civil Engineer is someone who practices all or part of this
art.
Civil Engineering concerns the study of conception, design, construction and maintenance
of large public and private projects. Civil engineers build and maintain bridges, highways,
railways, tunnels, airports, dams, water treatment and distribution systems and large
buildings, along with many other structures. Environmental considerations, such as water
supply, pollution control and preservation of soil quality, are also a part of the course of
study. With thorough knowledge of both the principles of construction and the possible
environmental consequences of a structure, the Civil engineer's expertise is one that is
essential to our present Civilization and one that will become ever more valuable in the
future.
In a developing country like Ethiopia, Civil Engineering has great role and contribution to the
economic development and improvement of the living standard of the people. As
infrastructure developments are indicators of improved livelihood and ways of investment
attractions and tourism, contribution of Civil Engineering in this regard is very crucial.
Therefore, this area of study by which many Ethiopians would be produced to serve our
country must have clear focus areas that enable speeded up and sustainable achievements
in improving the countrys infrastructure facilities.
2. Rationale of the Civil Engineering Program

Civil Engineers are Leaders in the conception, Design, Construction, and Maintenance of the
Infrastructure on which the society depends. Civil engineers build and maintain bridges,
highways, railways, tunnels, airports, dams, water treatment and distribution systems and
large buildings, along with many other structures. Civil engineers work on environmental
projects, such as ecological restoration, waste containment, and soil remediation sites or
design of a safe and efficient transportation system. With thorough knowledge of both the
principles of construction and the possible environmental consequences of a structure, the
Civil engineer's expertise is one that is essential to our present Civilization and one that will
become ever more valuable in the future.
The biggest challenge for the Development of Africa in general and Ethiopia in specific is the
lack of sufficient infrastructures which inhibit further growth & development. And as part of
the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), all African nations including Ethiopia are
investing large sum of budget on building infrastructures.
In the Growth and Transformation Plan, Ethiopias development efforts will be pursued
through seven strategic pillars. The GTP sees rapid growth as key to achieving the
ambitious targets in employment and poverty eradication. Investment in growth-oriented
sectors will be expanded. The contribution of Civil Engineering Graduates is immense to
accomplish the GTP pillars. As indicated below;
Growth and Transformation Plan Pillars

1.

Civil Engineers design and build Ethiopia's infrastructures such as rail ways,
highways, runways, bridges, water supply, irrigation and power dams,
treatment plants, different purpose buildings etc
Clients include private industries, municipal government, regional and
federal government agencies, and multinational conglomerates.
At the local level, Civil Engineers help communities plan for future
development by designing and building residential areas, business centers,
commercial districts, industrial parks, sports c
Complexes and high-tech manufacturing facilities. Working on multidisciplinary projects that touch upon the lives of the general public is one of
the distinguishing characteristics of a career in Civil Engineering.
5. Expand provision and quality of social services;
Build water supply system bringing closer water supply to society

Build Sewerage systems in urban areas.

GTP.
The Civil Engineering department aims to produce professionals equipped with relevant
knowledge, skills and attitude that would contribute to the development of the country.
Therefore, this is profession by which many Ethiopians would be produced to serve the
country.
Specific Rationale for the Harmonized Modular Curricula
The concern on competence and competence based education has been advocated
more widely in the 21st century than ever before. Quality education, education
relevance and international competition are among the typical features of the
century that are challenging the educational institutions and their curricula.
In view of that, the higher education sector has been internationalized; hence,
institutions and disciplines are expected to compete on a global level.
Creating strong link between professional practice, institutional design, program

curriculum and implementation are the key attempts that institutions are striving as
part of the response. This, in turn, implies that the move towards competency based
education is very essential for curriculum organization and, students centered
learning-teaching strategy is a must for classroom instruction.
The purpose of national harmonization is to:
Avoid confusion of graduates and the job market
Make degrees comparable and readable
Increase international competitiveness
Share resources of all types
Improve the relationship among stakeholders
leverage national economy through human capital
Serve the purpose of National Qualification Framework (NQF)
Therefore, courses are clustered in to different module having identified competencies.

A Civil engineer needs to understand the water cycle near the surface of the
earth since many of the infrastructures built are one way or another are
affected by the same cycle. In order to design irrigation, water supply and
hydropower infrastructure, a need arises as to what amount of water is
available for direct use.
Water is delivered to the point of use either in closed conduits or open
channels. The sizing of these conveyance structures requires sound
understanding of continuity equation, conservation of momentum, and
conservation of energy and their application.
This module is required in order to analyses such problems.
Understand how elements of the hydrologic cycle impact in Civil and
environmental Engineering systems.
Understand how to use hydrology to design hydraulic systems.
Understand the importance of a probabilistic approach of analysis.
Understand how observations of the hydrologic cycle are made and
how they can be appropriately used.
Understand how to predict risks and reliabilities of flood control
systems
Be familiar with the field of hydraulics
for given flows and conditions, be able to dimension pipes and
channels;
learn the fundamentals of sediment transport;
learn the principles of flow modeling in hydraulic Engineering;
gain understanding of the methods and applications of hydraulic
research

In order to insure food security and alleviate poverty, water resources
should be developed economically. Water storage and conveyance
structures are employed to this end. Hence, this module elucidates
techniques employed to design such structures safely and economically.
In order to ensure food self-efficiency in the face of increasing
population, it is essential to harvest crops at least twice or more times
annually.In order to ensure so, irrigation assisted farming is mandatory
in times of deficiency of rainfall. Hence, this module is justified since it
exposes the students with various methods of irrigation systems and the
infrastructure required for the same purpose.
This module is required in order to analyses such problems.
The module has the objective of introducing the students to:
To expose students to water storage structures such as dams,
construction materials for dams, dam appurtenant structures and
related ones. These include
Intake structures,
Outlet structures,
Energy dissipating structures,
Water diversion structures, and so on.
To exposed to river training measures, river morphology, soil
conservation structures, and design of weirs on alluvial foundations.
Methods of estimating crop water requirement,
Methods of application of irrigation water such as sprinkler and
drip irrigation systems
Diversion structures such as weirs and barrages

The Final Year Project (Bachelors Thesis) is the culmination of the program and
should develop and demonstrate independent, methodological abilities as well as
provide the students with their first research experience.
The subjects for the Bachelors Thesis can be set in consultation between the Professor
and the student. Some works in cooperation with the industry are also possible.
The content of the Bachelors Thesis should be a further development of the work done
in the basis course and the focused study of the Bachelors curriculum. The supervisor
is responsible for fixing the conditions of the bachelors thesis. The selection of the
subject and/or supervisors is the choice of the students, i.e., there is no obligation to
connect the bachelors thesis with the focused study.
The bachelors thesis is undertaken during the tenth semester, and the students are
required to submit a written report and hold an oral presentation of their work.
Successful completion of bachelors thesis is worth 6 credit hours.
