INTRODUCTION
Civil Engineering
Infrastructure is the thing that supports our daily life access to drinking water and shelter from the weather, roads and harbors, railways and airports, hospitals, sports stadiums and schools. Infrastructure adds to our quality of life, and because it works, we take it for granted. Only when parts of it fail, or are taken away, do we realize its value. Civil Engineers worldwide endeavor to overcome the challenges of creating and maintaining infrastructure for today, and for future generations. Civil Engineering as defined by the London based Institute of Civil Engineers (ICE) is a great art, on which the wealth and well-being of the whole of society depends. Its essential feature, as distinct from science and the arts, is the exercise of imagination to fashion the products, processes and people needed to create a sustainable physical and natural built environment. It requires a broad understanding of scientific principles, knowledge of materials and the art of analysis and synthesis. It also requires research, team working, leadership and business skills. A Civil Engineer is someone who practices all or part of this art. In a developing country like Ethiopia, civil engineering has great role and contribution to the economic development and improvement of the living standard of the people. As infrastructure developments are indicators of improved livelihood and ways of investment attractions and tourism, contribution of civil engineering in this regard is very crucial. Therefore, this area of study by which many Ethiopians would be produced to serve our country must have clear focus areas that enable speeded up and sustainable achievements in improving the countrys infrastructure facilities.

The diffusion of technology and knowledge is a salient feature in the technological change, innovation and growth of the modern society. Much attention is being given to the role of universities in the development of nations. Universities all over the world are playing a crucial role in producing competent professionals who will be taking responsibility of the countrys technology and resources. This goal of universities can be further fostered by a strong link with the industries. A strong bond and relation

between universities and the industry helps not only in finding out immediate solutions to prevailing challenges in the industry but also will help in producing all rounded and sharp professionals who will later be important assets to the development of the country. The background for this proposed Civil Engineering curriculum emanates from two important reasons; the current situation of our nation and the upgrading of the former NCTTE to university level. When we look at the current situation of our university, it is expanding very rapidly horizontally as well as vertically. A number of new faculties have been opened and the university is giving all to serve the nation at its best. As part of the university community, Construction Technology department up to now has been only involved in technology with the mandate of producing technical teachers for TVET schools. Looking at the current status of the department, it has the potential to run an Engineering program to produce technically skilled engineers who can play a great role in fulfilling the standard requirements. Hence the proposal for this curriculum of a Civil Engineering program is based on the outcome of the study which justifies the capacity and potential of the department to run Civil Engineering program.
The Construction Technology department experienced a surge in enrolment of students in the regular as well the continuing program, which reveals the fact that the department offers students not only the excellence in cutting-edge technological knowledge and applications, but also in a multidisciplinary engineering background for the career that our students have planned. The interest and aspiration of our students motivated the department for dynamic and positive changes in reshaping the department's objectives in education and research. The department also has plans to motivate the students to participate in community based extracurricular activities, and to help them contribute in societal problem solving.

The graduates of the department have profound knowledge in basic science, mathematics, social science besides the major studies of Civil Engineering disciplines. Civil Engineering plays an important role in the development of the country. Our graduates are working all over the country in a variety of jobs. The Civil Engineering Department of Adama University is expected to draw its resources from Construction Technology department of the former NCTTE when the College was established in 1993.
1.3 Programs of the Civil Engineering Department The Faculty of Engineering is expected to offer students opportunities to pursue academic programs in a variety of engineering fields. The Civil Engineering Department will exert its level best effort to respond to the nations needs by revising curricula, expanding undergraduate programs, and offering continuing education programs. The Department of Civil Engineering will provide training for regular undergraduate and continuing education programs leading to a B.Sc. degree in Civil Engineering.
1.4 Professional Profile of the Graduates in Civil Engineering The developed professional profile clearly indicates that Civil engineers need a good grasp of mathematics and design, and the ability to manage and liaise with a wide variety of people. They need to be able to think in all dimensions and communicate ideas effectively. This kind of engineering is suited to people who are practical with a creative characteristic. Hence, the graduate from the Civil Engineering Department has the following profile: Ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering. Ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data. Ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams. Ability to identify, formulate, analyze, and solve engineering problems. Understand professional and ethical responsibility. Ability to communicate effectively.

3 RATIONALE FOR THE CURRICULUM 3.1 General Rationale for the Curriculum Accelerated Industrial Development is one of the Ethiopian governments priorities in seeking to overcome poverty by 2015 as part of the Millennium Development Goal (MDG). Capacity Building particularly in the engineering sector has in turn been identified as the key factor in achieving accelerated industrial development. Hence, the Government through the Ministry of Capacity Building (MoCB) stated the need for Reform in the Engineering sector. Reform of the national engineering faculties and establishing new ones was considered as one of the key areas of intervention because engineering studies at Universities lay the ground for many aspects of industrial production in terms of technology, production processes, technical management, etc. They provide the human resources for Universities, other educational institutions, the public and private sectors of the economy. They take part in technical innovation and adaptation processes for and within industries. They also play important roles in the development of Technical Vocational Education and Technology (TVET) curricula and technical teacher training, not only with regard to the implementation of the program, but also as opinion leaders by bridging the gap between future requirements/innovation and the actual needs of successful companies concerning their staffing requirements. In response to the Governments plea, the Engineering Capacity Building Program (ECBP) under the MoCB initiated the University reform in July 2004 beginning with the Faculty of Technology (FOT) at Addis Ababa University (AAU). In August 2006, ECBP initiated similar reform programs in Engineering Faculties of regional Universities, in which Adama University is one of the new Universities expected to start a Faculty of Technology.

In addition to the Governments priorities, the formal and informal feed-back that was obtained by the engineering faculties nationwide also showed that there is a need for reform in the training offered. There is a need for the students to acquire more practical oriented training and problem-solving skills through research. Thus, the students are expected to undertake internship on Industrial Training, so as to get the practical exposure; Courses on Entrepreneurship and Humanities are also suggested to be a good addition for the Graduates to be competent in the local or global market. Moreover, the students should have a negotiation skill and be able to write a winning proposal. The curriculum should also produce students who are ethical, law-abiding and good leaders in the future. Lastly the new curriculum is required to meet international standards and accreditation.
3.2 Specific Rationale for the Curriculum The specific objectives for the Curriculum can be outlined as follows: The Training should be more practical, An internship (industry placement) should be mandatory, Excursions should be held more frequently, Hands-on workshop practice should be enhanced. The Graduate should have effective communication skills, and The curriculum should be accredited internationally.
3.3 Key Issues of the Curriculum In view of the objective of providing more practical oriented training, the curriculum has been devised to incorporate: mandatory internship (industry placement) to let the students be exposed to some practical and industrial experience prior to the completion of their studies. comprehensive and integrated civil engineering design projects at different stages of the B.Sc. program. In the design projects, in addition to conventional designs, students will extensively deal with Ethiopian related problems such as design of low cost residential and public buildings, low cost sanitation, micro dams, and so on. Department of Civil Engineering Faculty of Engineering Adama University 6
September 2007
students will also be exposed to hands-on workshop practice and frequent excursions to various construction sites at early stages of the program.
Courses on Entrepreneurship have also been included. Modular system of courses has also been utilized in the curriculum. Finally, the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) has also been used. 4 STRUCTURE OF THE B.Sc. STUDY IN CIVIL ENGINEERING The structure of study for the curriculum is as shown on Table 1 and is common for all departments in the Faculty of Engineering of Adama University. The new structure of studies will consist of ten Semesters including one Semester of Internship. The first semester is more of an Orientation Semester, whereby the students will be motivated in order to have feelings of being an engineer through basic education and hands-on workshop exercises. Following the orientation semester, the student will go through 5 semesters of basic civil engineering studies. As shown in Table 1, the Internship is proposed to take place at the end of the sixth semester following the newly holistic exam. After successful completion of the internship, the student will pursue 3 semesters of project studies and a B.Sc. thesis work.

4.1 Academic Year An Academic Year is specified in European calendar. It consists of two Semesters. One semester comprises sixteen (16) weeks. One week means five working days, i.e., from Monday to Friday. The First semester commences in September of every year and ends in January whereas the second semester starts in February and ends
Faculty of Engineering
Adama University
September 2007
in June of the same Academic Year. An Academic Semester encompasses the holidays and a semester vacation as well.
4.2 The European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) The curriculum will seek accreditation based on international standards and will employ the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). ECTS was introduced in 1989 and is the only credit system which has been successfully tested and used across Europe, especially following the Bologna Declaration of June 1999. ECTS is a student-centered system based on the student workload required to achieve the objectives of a program, objectives preferably specified in terms of the learning outcomes and competences to be acquired. According to the European Commission Education and Training Programs, ECTS is based on the principle that 60 credit points measures the workload of a full-time student during one academic year. The student workload of a full-time study program in Europe amounts in most cases to around 1500-1800 hours per year and in those cases one credit stands for around 25 to 30 working hours. Student workload in ECTS consists of the time required to complete all planned learning activities such as attending lectures, seminars, independent and private study, preparation of projects and examinations.
4.3 Proposal for Orientation Semester The curriculum begins with an orientation semester for all incoming students to the faculty of engineering. The prime objective of the Orientation Semester is to help incoming students comprehend the different fields of engineering and be able to acquire useful orientations for their future career choices. During the assessment year, the way will be paved for the students to begin building their future career. They will be exposed to the interdisciplinary nature of the Engineering Profession. They will take courses on general workshop practice in different fields of engineering, mathematics, higher level English language, basic mechanics, and social sciences.
4.4 Proposal for Workshop Practice In the civil engineering curriculum, special attention has been given to hand-on practice. In the first semester (orientation semester) all pre-engineering students will
Faculty of Engineering
Adama University
September 2007
take an introduction to engineering skills course which largely is composed of general workshop practice in construction, electrical, and mechanical engineering fields. In addition to this, those students who decide to join the civil engineering department (following the common orientation semester) will take detail construction workshop practical courses in the second semester. The construction workshop includes concrete, masonry, plumbing, and wood work practices. The workshop practice is going to demand a very high amount of resources for establishing a completely new building and all necessary equipments and facilities taking into account the large number of students coming in the freshman year. The workshop should be spacious enough for the students to move around while carrying out hands-on exercises. New Technical Assistants should be employed. Cement, wood, sand, gravel, pipes, bars should be available every year. In order to properly handle the Workshop, it should have a separate budget. 4.5 Proposal for Internship General The Bachelor of Science (B.Sc) curriculum in civil engineering program requires a one-semester internship (industry placement) after the successful completion of the holistic examination, i.e. usually during the 7th semester of the program. During the internship, the daily and monthly working times follow the systems practiced in the respective industry for the upper middle-level management. Specifically, they follow the system practiced in the respective company that hosts the student. As a rule, the entire internship period has to be spent in a single company; a change of company during the internship period will only be permitted under extraordinary circumstances. In such a case, the decision is with the Faculty Internship Coordinator. Also, the faculty/department should assign a supervisor, probably an experienced lecturer from within the faculty/department to pay assessment visits to a group of the students during the internship period. A seminar program, organized by the Faculty Internship Coordinator, will accompany the internship semester. Participation in the seminar program is compulsory (mandatory).

At the end of the internship, the student submits to the Faculty Internship Coordinator a comprehensive report, duly endorsed by the students host company. The report is assigned 30 ECTS. The required format and assessment of the report is detailed in the Curriculum Handbook for civil engineering department. The report will be assessed evaluators). Objectives The internship program has the following objective(s): Expansion of knowledge and acquaintance with industry in the field of civil engineering. Consolidation and deepening of existing knowledge in the civil engineering design and construction industry. Participation in the development, manufacture and assembly of products typical for the industry. Involvement in the planning, steering and management of the design & construction processes. Hands-on training in practical skills typical for the industry. Typically, this would be participation individually or within a (task) group in real assignments/projects, which entail the application of knowledge and skills attained so far during the studies at University and aiming at developing special skills related to the industrial practice in one or several of the following fields (depending on the type of industry and company profile): - Design and construction - Laboratory (quality monitoring) work - Task management (labor management, logistics) - Business management - Marketing -Establishment of linkages/collaborations between the industry and the students on one hand and industries and faculty/department on the other hand. by specifically assigned university lecturers (internship program

Academic Requirements The academic requirements for entry into the internship (industry-placement semester) is the successful completion of the holistic examination, which encompasses all parts of the study program completed until the end of the 6th semester. As indicated in the description of the Internship Module, the Internship programme creates the opportunity for the students to familiarize themselves with the Industry. The Committee proposes that an office within the faculty/department be established with the mandate of organizing the Internship for the students. The office can be given the name Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme. The office should look for interested employers form the private and public sectors. It should also create permanent contact with the Construction Industry. The private sectors involve among others consulting offices and construction firms. The public sector involves the Design Enterprises established in the Country. The duration of the internship should be one semester and it must not necessarily carry any credits. However, it should be mandatory.
4.6 Modules As indicated in the Professional Profile of a Civil Engineer, the Graduate should have exposure to various disciplines of the Civil Engineering profession. The Civil Engineering Profession is varied and consists of different areas of specialization. Hence, it is highly commendable to modularize the courses to make the training very flexible, sizable and output-oriented. A Module is defined here to be set of related courses in order to make the candidate civil engineer achieve a particular specialization. According to ACQUIN (Accreditation, Certification and Quality Assurance Institute) the duration of modules must be limited to a time span of 1 to 2 semesters so that module contents can build upon each other instead of being taught in parallel. Based on this approach, the curriculum committee of the civil engineering department has proposed the 30 modules summarized in

Adama University 12
September 2007
section 4.7. The module characterization and the courses in each module are summarized in the Module Handbook, which is given in section 6 of this curriculum. All courses of the proposed curriculum are also characterized in this module Handbook.
4.7 Distribution of Modules in the Civil Engineering Program The modules will be distributed in such a way that the Graduate Profile requirements are met. It is recommended that the core Civil Engineering Modules get coverage of 70 percent. Any one of the core modules shall not exceed 30 percent of the total coverage. Table 2. Distribution of Modules.

* Out of 41 ECTS of Elective courses, the student will take only 12 to 15 ECTS.
4.8 Methods of Instruction In addition to normal lecture based teaching, students will develop their skills and knowledge through active learning in a variety of ways. Group work in laboratories and design classes should be highly encouraged, since this will allow the students to interact informally with lecturers, technical staff and postgraduate assistants if there are any. Computer assisted learning should be introduced and be a feature of some classes. Furthermore, use should be made of guided reading, self-paced learning, and site visits. In summary, the Teaching Methodology comprises the following: Classroom lectures, duly supported by audio-visual aids, demonstrations and distribution of notes pertaining to the subject, whenever possible or wherever necessary, Laboratory experiments and design assignments, Instructional tours to appropriate establishments, construction sites, field stations, factories etc., Classroom discussions and lectures by renowned professionals, Enhanced use of modern computing facilities in the teaching-learning environment. 4.9 Examination Methods Most courses will be assessed by a combination of written examinations. Reports on project work should also be part of the assessment metrics. The design activities Department of Civil Engineering Faculty of Engineering Adama University 14
September 2007
shall be assessed entirely by course work and this often shall include assessment of oral presentations. In the final year, students should be required to present their major group design by means of a poster exhibition in a professional format as frequently adopted in commercial practice and at technical conferences. Some students could also produce animated computer graphics of their work if the necessary facilities are provided by the Department. According to the curriculum, in addition to regular quizzes, home works, and assignments, the students will undertake two major exams for all the courses, the first at the middle (Mid-semester Exam) and the second at the end of each semester (Final Exam). Moreover, in the curriculum, the students will also undertake a holistic kind of examinations, either written or oral, before they leave for their internship and after they complete the B.Sc. thesis (i.e. before exit to practice). 4.10 Course Sequencing All courses from the curricula will be offered at 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th year levels as shown below.

Civil Engineering is an important and learned profession, which is achieved through academic education at recognized institution. Competence can be developed and enriched by extended experience. It is a profession practiced in civil works development projects with direct and vital impact on the livelihood of the community. Civil engineering has played a critical role in the development of basic infrastructure for the common good and the public. Civil engineers were actively involved in the design of buildings, in developing better water supplies, municipal sewer systems, in improving agriculture through water resource development and in the rapid and dramatic changes in transportation systems, etc. Ethiopia has been practicing different engineering activities for the development of the country. Early civil engineering expresses itself in various parts of the country through different structures like the magnificent Rock hewn churches in Lalibela, Axum obelisk, etc. In recent years, the government and the private sector had been involved with a number of civil works. Different private buildings, public infrastructures and other related activities came in to practice, but the existing realities show that the results of the different engineering construction activities are not going on as per the need and the quality demand of the country. Different works are executed at lower quality but with higher cost. Civil engineering plays a vital role in the overall development of the country. The planning, design and execution of structures and infrastructures in the country are mainly done by Civil Engineers. Infrastructures like Private and public buildings, industrial complexes for the manufacture of various items, dams for irrigation, water supply and generation of power, roads and airfields to facilitate the transportation of people and goods, etc are products of the civil engineers, which have impact on the economic growth of the country. However, to deliver the expected level of service, Civil engineers work under difficult working environment with less incentive as compared to other professionals. Based on preliminary survey, on limited studies done in different parts of the country on the practice of Civil Engineering, there are opinions which suggest that the civil engineering education and training programs in the country: Department of Civil Engineering Faculty of Engineering Adama University 106
B.Sc. Study Program Civil Engineering Give less emphasis to practical training. Are not tailored to the need of the Industry.

Specific to young Universities such as Adama University, the quality of education is not up to standard because of scarcity of instructors with sufficient skill, knowledge, attitude and experience and insufficient infrastructure and unhealthy administration and financial rules and systems acting as a bottle neck. The graduates have little knowledge in humanities, management, entrepreneurship, business and economics. There are also opinions, which say that the non-ethical practices in the profession appear to flourish especially on infrastructure investments such as major road projects, large buildings and water works schemes. However, further assessment of the existing situations of the country is needed to justify these opinions. Hence, preparation of the professional profile for this field of specialization enables to: Observe the depth and method of teaching for the courses contained in the proposed curriculum. Point out defects of the current system. Devise a system that improves the teaching learning process. Inclusion of important subjects. Omission of outdated or less practiced topics/courses. More generally, it is useful to provide a framework that gives guideline by which students of civil engineering develop their skills and acquire standardized and relevant knowledge in planning, design, construction and entrepreneurship concepts during their study time at the university.

more than ordinary and upon which practice is based. This knowledge is usually acquired through higher education. Members of professions have a good deal of autonomy (self-governing) in their work compared to other occupations in which members simply act on orders given. Professionals usually have a professional organization, recognized by state/national government that controls admission to the entry to the profession and training as well as set standards for practice. Professionals fulfill important social function or are committed to a social good. Professionals follow a code of conduct which emphasizes public duty. This is normally established and maintained by a professional association. A profession strives to add to and improve its body of knowledge through research. In general, civil engineering addresses execution of civil engineering projects from planning through design and construction up to maintenance and phase out or demolition stage. In particular, the profession gives appropriate solutions to different engineering problems associated with design and construction of building structures, highways, hydraulic structures, bridges, water supply systems, tunnels, dams, sewerage systems, airports, powerhouse, railways, etc.
Civil Engineering (Definition) Civil Engineer is a person who, is professionally and academically qualified to practice planning, design, manage and supervise projects for the construction operation and maintenance of various structures and infrastructures; Civil Engineer is a qualified professional who is able to solve construction and other civil engineering problems by mathematical modeling, giving mathematical and analytical solutions to the problems, design and implement the modeled solution; Civil Engineer is a person whose life is dedicated to design, construction and management of infrastructures by utilizing all opportunities to optimize economy and safety during the design and implementation process of projects; Civil Engineer is a person who is equipped with theory and practice and meets the clients requirements;

An experienced Civil Engineer is a person who teaches the fundamentals of civil engineering and involves in research activities in-order to promote the state of art.
Practice of Civil Engineering (Definition) The practice of the civil engineering can be divided into four categories: 1. Practice before construction (feasibility, site investigations, and design), 2. Practice during construction (dealing with clients, consulting engineers, and contractors), 3. Practice after construction (operation and maintenance), and 4. Research (basic and applied).
Core Services and Activities Everywhere in the world, Civil Engineers are involved in projects ranging from small scale to sophisticated projects. In particular, they carry out different assignments such as planning, design, construction and maintenance of building structures, roads, bridges, railways, dams, water supply and sewerage schemes and the like. Civil engineering is broad term. It is an umbrella field comprised of many related specialties. The core services of civil engineering are shown in the following subsections. General Teach the fundamentals of civil engineering and undertake basic and applied research activities. Provide innovative and economical solutions to problems encountered in the field. Working in a multidisciplinary environment and acquire knowledge and skill that allow Civil Engineers to practice in associated areas of sciences and engineering. Keep abreast of new technologies in civil engineering and provide orientation and/or training to subordinates as required. Contract Administration - Review and approve contractors program, method and schedule.

Education The basic educational requirement for working as a civil engineer is a minimum of bachelors degree in civil engineering or in areas of its specialization. All persons employed in these areas must have at least a bachelors degree in a relevant discipline. Graduates from an accredited educational program are eligible to discharge their duty as professional Civil Engineers. Nowadays, in some countries education beyond the current bachelors degree is needed to adequately prepare engineers for practice. The ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineers) has adopted the concept of the masters degree or equivalent as a prerequisite for licensure and practice of civil engineering at the professional level. Moreover, higher institutes should have feed back system about their graduates and a means to continue training on new technologies.

A Civil Engineer may find employment in a design and consulting firm with firsthand involvement in the design of structures and facilities, or work may be found with a contractor who is building or supervising the construction of a project. Many Civil Engineers work for local, regional and federal public works agencies. The Civil Engineer is also concerned with the major structures of manufacturing and processing plants, power generating stations and the maintenance of the quality of air. In short, major recruiters of Civil Engineering Graduates include: Consultants who plan and design projects, with some supervision of the implementation of the plans. Some firms specialize in certain areas of Civil Engineering. Consultancy is mainly office-based. Contractors who organize the execution of the designs on sites, overseeing labor force and materials, considering time, cost and safety constraints. Work will move from site to site, so students must be prepared to be geographically mobile. Local authorities e.g. Water, highways, and drainage. May act in both design and site management capacities. Other large engineering industries e.g. Petroleum and mining, public transport, power generation and supply companies. PRINCIPLES OF PROFESSIONALISM The services to be provided by Civil Engineers require commitment, confidence, consideration of others, curiosity, entrepreneurship, fairness, high expectations, honesty, integrity, intuition, judgment, optimism, persistence, positive ness, respect, Department of Civil Engineering Faculty of Engineering Adama University 114

self-esteem, sensitivity, thoughtfulness, thoroughness, tolerance, impartiality and shall be dedicated to the protection of public health, safety, welfare and environment. Ethics and Conduct The Ethiopian Association of Civil Engineers (EACE) has adopted a standard Code of Ethics based on international experience to enable Civil Engineers adhere and preserve the highest principles of ethical conduct on behalf of the profession. The fundamental principle of the EACE code of ethics is that Engineers uphold and advance the integrity, honor and dignity of the engineering profession by: Using their knowledge and skill for the enhancement of human welfare and the environment. Being honest and impartial and serving with fidelity the public, their employers and clients. Striving to increase the competence and prestige of the profession. Supporting the professional and technical societies of other disciplines
Registration/Licensing/Certification It is obvious that Engineers should meet formal minimum standard requirements in terms of education, training and experience to practice the profession in the interest of the public through registration, licensing or certification. Registration/licensing/certification is the official legal recognition of an individual qualification allowing her or him to practice as a Civil Engineer associated with regulations preventing unqualified persons from performing certain functions. This process is to be done at regional and federal level for different stage of professional certifications.
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Continuing professional development is a lifelong learning process that maintains, enhances or increases the knowledge and continuing ability of civil engineers. It is essential that the professional bodies require their members to devote time to maintain existing skills, broadening knowledge and exploring new areas. This is increasingly important to keep abreast with new technologies, methods of practice
