Currently, under Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) (Honours) Programme, students must complete a minimum of 139 credit hours distributed over eight (8) semesters. The curriculum content is effectively implemented through a proper teaching learning and assessment method to achieve the twelve (12) Programme Outcomes (PO) for the Programme.
STUDENT ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE EVALUATION (UNDERGRADUATE) REGULATIONS 2015 (SAPER 2015)
Outcome Based Education (OBE)
OBE focuses on students achieving outcomes (required attributes, skills, qualities) after undergoing the learning process through the OBE curriculum. BE comprises of four (4) major components which cover (1) curriculum design, (2) teaching and learning methods, (3) assessment, and (4) continual quality improvement (CQI) and monitoring.

Complex Engineering Problems (WP)
ATTRIBUTE | Complex Engineering Problems have characteristic WP1 and some or all of WP2 to WP7 |
Depth of Knowledge Required | WP1: Can’t be resolved without in-depth engineering knowledge at the level of one or more of WK3, WK4, WK5, WK6 or WK8 which allows a fundamentals-based, first principles analytical approach |
Range of Conflicting Requirements | WP2: Involve wide-ranging or conflicting technical, engineering and other issues |
Depth of Analysis Required | WP3: Have no obvious solution and require abstract thinking, originality in analysis to formulate suitable models |
Familiarity of Issues | WP4: Involve infrequently encountered issues |
Extent of Applicable Codes | WP5: Are outside problems encompassed by standards and codes of practice for professional engineering |
Extent of Stakeholder Involvement and Conflicting Requirements | WP6: Involve diverse groups of stakeholders with widely varying needs |
Interdependence | WP 7: Are high level problems including many component parts or sub-problems |
In addition, in the context of the Professional Competencies | |
Consequences | EP1: Have significant consequences in a range of contexts |
Judgement | EP2: Require judgement in decision making. |
Complex Engineering Activities
ATTRIBUTE | Complex Activities |
Preamble | Complex activities means (engineering) activities or projects that have some or all of the following characteristics: |
Range of resources | EA1: Involve the use of diverse resources (and for this purpose resources includes people, money, equipment, materials, information and technologies) |
Level of interactions | EA2: Require resolution of significant problems arising from interactions between wide-ranging or conflicting technical, engineering or other issues |
Innovation | EA3: Involve creative use of engineering principles and research-based knowledge in novel ways. |
Consequences to society and the environment | EA4: Have significant consequences in a range of contexts, characterized by difficulty of prediction and mitigation |
Familiarity | EA5: Can extend beyond previous experiences by applying principles-based approaches |
