CIVIL ENGINEERING UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM
The Civil Engineering Undergraduate program at Paragon International University aims to develop a new generation of highly qualified specialists with a fundamental knowledge of science and engineering. Civil engineering students start their journey by mastering basic science and mathematics. The study of engineering mechanics and materials, which are fundamentals to civil engineering, begins in the second year. The last two years of the program provide an in-depth focus on the following disciplines:
-
the principles of structural engineering (analysis and design of reinforced concrete and steel structures)
-
geotechnical engineering (behavior of soils, design of foundations)
-
hydraulics engineering (flow of water in pipes, open channels, water resources)
-
environmental engineering (pollution of our environment, collection, and disposal of wastes)
-
the general systems approach to engineering problems
Throughout the program, civil engineering students are also exposed to an introduction to construction management and economics, which are essential to every practicing engineer.
