Description

Civil Technology Department

The Civil Technology Department is one of the specialized training divisions at our institute. It aims to prepare qualified national cadres capable of working efficiently in the fields of construction, infrastructure, engineering supervision, and surveying, in accordance with the training standards and curricula approved by the Technical and Vocational Training Corporation (TVTC).

The department offers two main training tracks:

First: Diploma Programs

1. Civil and Architectural Technology Diploma (Two and a half years)

This comprehensive program aims to equip students with the skills and knowledge required for the construction industry. Over two and a half years, the program covers both theoretical and practical aspects of civil engineering and architectural technology, with a focus on building structures, infrastructure, and project management. The program prepares graduates to work in civil construction, project supervision, structural design, and construction materials and concrete technology.

Program Objectives:

· Train students in the fundamentals of civil engineering

· Acquire skills in material testing (concrete – soil – asphalt)

· Learn supervision of construction sites

· Read and execute engineering drawings

· Apply occupational safety procedures

· Use engineering software such as AutoCAD

Career Opportunities
