This unit provides the knowledge of open channel hydraulics is fundamental to water resources development, the preservation of water quality, and the enhancement of the environment. Water resources engineering and hydrology has, along with other areas of engineering knowledge, exploded in the past four decades. To some degree, this explosion is due to the advent of the high-speed digital computer and the movement of computational power to the desks of every practicing professional and student. In addition, the concerns of society with both the preservation and restoration of the aquatic environment has led hydrologic and hydraulic engineers to consider problems that were not seriously considered before. Students will understand how the channel types can be changed according to the flow and discharge and velocities of water. They will identify surface roughness, channel types, fluid flows, energy loss and the changes of depth of flow.They will work in class with other students and in group to discuss the engineering concerned with open channel hydraulic. They will present your presentation in a professional manner to peer group for feedback.

This unit gives an overview of construction materials, their use and management in civil engineering applications. The course focuses on the earthmoving materials, estimating earthwork volume, excavating and lifting equipment and compaction equipment. The lecture provides an explanation of the foundation work, concrete formwork system and concrete and steel construction work. It also covers construction management topics such as planning and scheduling, construction economics and contract construction, construction safety and health and equipment maintenance.

The main objective of this course is to provide students with firm understanding of the design of reinforced concrete members and structures through a thorough grounding in the basic performance of materials and structural behaviour under loading, Topics covered in this course will include: fundamental behavior of reinforced concrete; basis for design code and specification; flexural analysis and design of beams; shear and diagonal tension in beams; bond, anchorage, and development length; design of short columns; analysis and design of slabs; and design of footings and foundations.

For engineering purposes, soil is defined as uncemented aggregate of mineral grains and decayed organic matter(solid particles) with liquid and gas in the empty spaces between the solid particles. Soil is used as a construction material in various civil engineering projects,and it supports structural foundations. Thus,civil engineers must study the properties of soil,such as its origin,grain-size distribution,ability to drain water,compressibility,shear strength,and load-bearing capacity. Soil mechanics is the branch of science that deals with the study of the physical properties of soil and the behavior of soil masses subjected to various types of forces. Soils engineering is the application of the principles of soil mechanics to practical problems. Geotechnical engineering is the subdiscipline of civil engineering that involves natural materials found close to the surface of the earth. It includes the application of the principles of soil mechanics and rock mechanics to the design of foundations,retaining structures,and earth structures.

This unit provides students with the role played by structure in the design and building process. The main aim is to give basic principles of structural analysis and structural design which introduce the limit state approach to the design of simple elements under tension, compression and bending together with an overview of the types of loading acting on structures and their idealization for design purpose. This subject provides the student with a clear and thorough presentation of the theory and application of structural analysis as it applies to trusses, beams, and frames.

The students study a discussion of the various types of structural forms and loads, the determination of forces at the supports and connections of statically determinate beams and frames. The analysis of various types of statically determinate trusses and shear and bending-moment functions and diagrams for beams and frames, the analysis of simple cable and arch systems, influence lines for beams, girders, and trusses and several common techniques for the approximate analysis of statically indeterminate structures.

Structural engineering is a wider discipline under the field of civil engineering. It is a vast topic with unlimited theories and practices. It is a field that is still developing with huge innovations and ideas. When looking into the working time and the place sent by the structural engineers, most of the highly involved structural engineers will be working in the office as well as on the construction sites. The roles and responsibilities of the structural engineer include Structural Designing, Site and work investigations, Communication, Construction Management and Adequate training.

After learning the structural analysis, The students will understand the basis of structural design, load distribution and deflection, examine types of loading acting on structures and their uncertainties, develop collaboration and team-working skills through series of in-class group discussions and calculations and work in groups to relate the real world cases with the theories to be applied.

The course is designed to increase student's confidence and ability and to enable them to operate at a good intermediate level. The emphasis is on integrating the four skills, increasing fluency through interactive communicative activities and improving accuracy through grammar focus and error analysis. Attention is also paid to vocabulary building and achieving clear intelligible pronunciation.
