Details
The mission of the Faculty of Engineering is to produce well educated engineers who can fulfill the needs of Somali speaking communities in the areas of engineering and technology. Such engineers should be able to face the challenges of the twenty-first century, and to meet the country’s high expectations. Keeping up with modern international trends and methodologies of quality engineering education is one of the strategic goals of the faculty.
Program Education Objectives are statements that describe the expected accomplishments of graduates during the first several years following graduation from the Civil Engineering program at Eelo University.
Eelo University Department of Civil Engineering’s undergraduate program offers a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering degree, and our faculty is committed to teaching, inspiring, and mentoring students who will meet the following objectives:
- Our graduates will meet or exceed the expectations of employers.
- Our graduates will be prepared to pursue and obtain professional licenses.
- Our graduates will be prepared to pursue advanced degrees in engineering and other professional fields.
- Our graduates have a broad and well-integrated background in the concepts, theories, and methodologies needed to plan, design, analyze, develop, organize, and manage civil engineering projects.
- Our graduates have expertise in the major areas of civil engineering: structural analysis, design and reliability, transportation systems engineering, and water resources and environmental engineering.
To prepare students for the above educational objectives, we have adopted the following set of program outcomes that describe what they are expected to attain when they graduate:
- An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering
- An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data
- An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability
- An ability to function on multidisciplinary teams
- An ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
- An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
- An ability to communicate effectively
- The broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context
- A recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning
- A knowledge of contemporary issues
- An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
- Professional civil engineers need a good grasp of mathematics and design, and the ability to manage and liaise with a wide variety of people. They need to be able to think in all dimensions and communicate ideas effectively. This kind of engineering is suited to people who are practical with a creative characteristic. Hence, the graduate from the Civil Engineering Department has the following profile
- The ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science in a specialized area related to civil engineering
- The ability to design and conduct laboratory experiments, to critically analyze and interpret data, in major Civil Engineering areas such as, Structural, Geotechnical, Transportation, Water resources, Construction Technology and Management, and Environmental Engineering
- The ability to analyze and design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical health and safety, constructability, and sustainability in selected major Civil Engineering areas such as Structural, Geotechnical, Transportation, Water resources, Construction Technology and Management, and Environmental Engineering
- The ability to function in multidisciplinary teams
- The ability to communicate effectively, orally and in writing
- The ability to identify, formulate and solve Civil Engineering problems in recognized major civil engineering areas.
- An understanding of professional and ethical responsibilities of civil engineers in relation to public and private institutions and in the context of Civil Engineering infrastructure systems
- Recognizing the need for professional licensure and life-long learning
- Knowledge of contemporary issue
- The ability to use the techniques, skills, modern engineering tools and software necessary in selected major Civil Engineering areas, such as Structural, Geotechnical, Transportation, Water resources, Construction Technology and Management, and Environmental Engineering
- An understanding of professional practice issues such as project management and interactions between the development, design, and construction professions
- An understanding of business and public policy and administration fundamentals; and
- An understanding of leadership principles and attitudes
