1. Introduction:
Civil Engineering is one of the prominent and popular disciplines within engineering. Many people
in
the developed countries, developing countries and under developed countries have given emphasis
for
the broader application of Civil Engineering. This field has been helping the world for the all-round
physical infrastructure development and it has been creating wage and self employment
opportunities
both in public and private sectors. This curriculum is designed with the purpose of producing
middle
level technical workforce equipped with knowledge and skills related to the field of Civil
Engineering so
as to meet the demand of such workforce in the country to contribute in the national economic
development of Nepal. The knowledge and skills incorporated in this curriculum will be helpful to
deliver the individual needs as well national needs in the field of Civil Engineering.
2. Curriculum title:
Diploma in Civil Engineering (DCE)
3. Programme objectives:
This curriculum has following objectives to:
1. Prepare technicians who are capable of undertaking works in civil engineering field as Civil
Engineering Technicians under Road, Irrigation, Water supply, Urban Development and Building
Construction and other civil infrastructures development related departments and sectors;
2. Produce middle level competent technical workforce/human resources that could provide
supervisory works of civil engineering;
3. Prepare technical workforce who will demonstrate positive attitude and respect for the profession
and socio-cultural values;
4. Help in meeting the demand of required Civil Engineering Technicians for the public and private
infrastructure development sector of Nepal;
5. Reduce the dependence on employing such technicians from foreign countries and
6. Create self employment opportunities.
4. Programme description:
This course is based on the job required to perform by the Civil Engineering Technicians (Civil
Overseer) at different levels of public and private sectors physical infrastructures development
related
civil engineering works in Nepal. Therefore, this curriculum is designed to provide knowledge and
skills
focusing on Civil Engineering related to the occupation. There are six semesters in total within the
period of three years. The first year courses are offered focusing on foundational and core subjects
of
engineering; the second year courses are focused on basic disciplinary subjects of Civil Engineering.
Similarly, the third year whole courses comprise of the disciplinary subjects including provision of
6
elective subjects. Moreover, the third year insists on the application of learned skills and knowledge
through the Minor Project and Major Project.
The foundational subjects like Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics are offered in diffusion model
of
curricular programme are applicable in the field of Civil Engineering. It also includes language
subjects
like Nepali and English applicable for the communication in the same area. The disciplinary subjects
of
Civil Engineering are offered in this programme are included in all semesters. This curricular
programme also makes provision of project works as well as elective subjects in the specific areas of
Civil Engineering. The curriculum structure and the subject wise content that reflect the details of
this
curriculum. In brief, this curriculum will guide to its implementers to produce competent and highly
employable middle level technical workforces in the field of civil engineering.
The content of individual subjects prescribed in the curriculum are incorporated in the light of
"must
know and must do" principle of knowledge and skills for this level.
5. Duration:
The total duration of this curricular program is three years. Each year consists of two semesters of
six
months each. Moreover, one semester consist of 19.5 academic weeks including evaluation period.
