Introduction
Civil Engineers are involved in the preliminary design, planning, supervision, and construction of technical works, which are important components for the smooth functioning of modern societies. Roads, dams, tunnels, bridges, highways, airports, railroads, buildings, housing, harbours, jetties, oil platforms, water, and wastewater systems all objects of civil engineering. The BSc in Civil Engineering at Neapolis University in Cyprus is designed to produce graduates who will be able to meet these challenges, building their future on solid foundations. The programme offers each student knowledge and skills so as to enable them, upon completion of their studies, to enter the profession or to begin graduate studies.
The programme provides a broad civil engineering curriculum that focuses on fundamental theory, mathematics, science, planning, design, and construction. These compulsory courses, along with proper electives, allow students to focus on particular fields of Civil Engineering. Electives on two directions will be offered initially, which is in Structural Engineering and Environmental Engineering, while electives on more directions will be offered later, as in Geotechnical Engineering, in Hydraulics, in Coastal Engineering, and in Transportation Engineering. Students will have the opportunity to design technical projects taking into account factors such as economy, environment, society, politics, ethics, health, safety, and sustainability and to become acquainted with several aspects of professional practice.
“Based on my long experience in the development and application of high-tech systems in various fields of engineering, today I am deeply convinced that if their full integration into the construction industry is deemed necessary, their use is imperative and irreplaceable even in the early stages of educating future engineers.” Dr John Bellos – Associate Professor of Structural Design and Construction Technology
