Course description
UCCE Undergraduate Certificate in Civil Engineering
Civil and structural engineering is one of the oldest forms of engineering which involves the design, construction, and maintenance of the built environment. Civil engineers design for progress, to ensure a future of resilient and sustainable infrastructure that will meet the demands of our growing population. Upon completion of this undergraduate certificate, you will acquire fundamental knowledge, skills and understanding in the key core units of the civil engineering discipline.You will also demonstrate scientific, mathematical, contextual factors and design practice knowledge - contextualized to engineering applications such as surveying.
