Bachelor of Civil Engineering (Hons)

The Bachelor of Civil Engineering with Honours program provides students with a comprehensive education in the design, construction, and maintenance of essential infrastructure, including buildings, industrial structures, roads, and bridges. This discipline integrates mathematics, physical sciences, and engineering principles to develop sustainable and efficient public infrastructure solutions. The program is designed to cultivate graduates with strong technical expertise, problem-solving abilities, and a deep understanding of civil engineering concepts. Students gain proficiency in identifying, formulating, and solving engineering challenges, as well as in designing and evaluating operational performance using a systems-based approach.

Students are introduced to cutting-edge industry technologies and best practices early in the program. They apply these tools in assignments and integrated design projects. Additionally, UTAR maintains strong partnerships with leading industry players, offering students valuable research opportunities and career prospects like with, Brunsfield Sdn Bhd and Ken Holdings Bhd.

With a rigorous curriculum, hands-on industry exposure, and a research-driven approach, the Bachelor of Civil Engineering with Honours program equips graduates with the skills and knowledge required for successful careers in civil engineering and infrastructure development.
