Title of the Programme
The programme shall be bachelor of engineering in water and sanitation engineering
- Background
The undergraduate degree programme of BWSE (Water Sanitation Engineering) offers an introduction to the basic knowledge required for professionals in water resources and environmental engineering. The major specializations are hydrology, water supply, sanitation and water resources planning and management. The programme provides a strong foundation for further studies in water and related fields.
The specialization will equip students with the requisite theoretical and practical knowledge to plan, design, implement, operate and maintain sustainable water and sanitation infrastructure under complex conditions. Particularly, they will be equipped with the generic engineering skills to design sustainable and cost-effective water and sanitation systems.
- Justification
Water is the world’s most precious natural resource. This programme provides advanced training to students to develop their understanding of the activities involved in water and wastewater treatment and to work out strategies and devise systems that are crucial to preserving the environment.
The programme aims to develop your thinking ability and with this academic knowledge to create innovative solutions to practical problems. It will provide you the skills that you need to solve problems both alone and in a team structure by the help of the engineering science.
In the 8-semester training course, students learn on subjects that provide the right knowledge for everyday routine tasks in the water industry. Students choose a specialization in the fourth semester to study special subjects. There is an opportunity by professional partners to take part in a professional practice where students get a wealth of professional knowledge and substantial practical experience.
- The targeted group includes holders of:
-Advanced Level Certificate of Education; Advanced Level Certificate of science
-Diplomas in Engineering and other related Science and Technology fields;
-Degrees in the Physical Sciences and other Related .
- General Objectives
- Produce graduate engineers who are well equipped in theoretical, analytical and practical technical skills to guide and manage the infrastructure development and construction industry;
- Train people who will be able to advance in research and development;
- Train personnel to work in government and private institutions.
- Specific Objectives
The objectives of the programme are to:
To cultivate high-level engineers and technicians who are qualified for the demands of modern construction of socialism and scientific technology developments, and also qualified with morality, intelligence and good physical conditions. In addition, we cultivate students who are professional in water supply and sewage engineering in city, country and industry applications.
Objective 1: [Foundations] to cultivate students to have basic knowledge of natural science and social science; to have the experimental skills of water supply and sewage engineering, extensive civil engineering, environmental engineering; to acquire some basic knowledge of water protection and water resource, and techniques of utilizing water resources; Students should prepare to apply knowledge they learned into water supply and sewage engineering.
Objective 2: [Problem solving ability] to cultivate students to have better self-learning and creative abilities; Students are expected to keep learning and find out creative methods to solve problems; they should have advanced spirits and innovations for new technologies.
Objective 3: [Teamwork/Leadership] to cultivate students to have the abilities of cooperation and communication.
Objective 4: [Engineered Systems] to equip students with engineering techniques managing and organizing water supply, sewage engineering construction, manufacturing process, and equipment operating
Objective 5: [Societal Impact] students are cultivated to emphasize the protection of water resource and environment, and the safety of drinking water.
Objective 6: [Global Awareness] to cultivate students to have clear view of globalization and commit their duties competitively and responsibly.
Objective 7: [Lifelong Learning] to cultivate students to have the skills of water supply and sewage engineering incities and buildings, water resource protection, and the planning, designing, construction, management, education and science studying skills of industrial water supply and sewage.
Duration of the Programme: 4 years and one Year for advanced Diploma student
