COURSE OVERVIEW
The course on Civil Infrastructure provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the
design, construction, and maintenance of essential infrastructure components such as roads, bridges,
dams, and water supply systems. It covers topics including structural analysis, material properties,
transportation engineering, geotechnical engineering, and environmental considerations. Students
learn to apply engineering principles to plan, design, and manage infrastructure projects while
considering factors such as sustainability, safety, and societal impact. Additionally, the course
explores emerging technologies and innovative practices in the field to address current and future
infrastructure challenges.
