  • Intoduction to Irrigation and Water Supply Engineering

    Irrigation is defined as the process of artificially supplying water to the soil to nourish crops. It is the science of planning and designing an efficient, low-cost, economical irrigation system according to natural conditions. It is the engineering of controlling and harnessing various natural sources of water, by building dams and reservoirs, canals and headworks,…

  • The Municipal / Urban Engineering

    Municipal engineering is related to municipal infrastructure. This includes roads, sidewalks, water supply networks, sewers, street lighting, municipal solid waste management and disposal, storage depots for various bulk materials used for maintenance and public works, such as salt and sand, public parks including specification, designing, construction and maintenance. and cycle paths In the case of underground…

  • The Traffic Engineering

    Traffic engineering is a branch of civil engineering that uses engineering techniques to achieve the safe and efficient movement of people and goods. It mainly focuses on research and construction of infrastructure necessary for this movement, such as roads, railway tracks, bridges, traffic signals and traffic lights.Increasingly, however, instead of building additional infrastructure, dynamic elements…

  • The Airport Engineering

    Airport engineers design and construct airports. Airport engineers must account for aircraft impacts and demands in the design of airport facilities. One such example is the analysis of prevailing wind direction to determine runway direction.

  • The Port & Harbour Engineering

    Port and harbor engineers handle the design, construction and operation of ports, harbors, canals and other marine facilities. This is not to be confused with marine engineering.

  • The Rail Enginnering

    Railway engineers handle the design, construction, and operation of railroads and mass transit systems that use a fixed guideway (such as light rail or even monorails). Typical tasks would include determining horizontal and vertical alignment design, station location and design and construction cost estimation. Railroad engineers can also move into the specialized field of train dispatching,…
