Civil Engineering Program Overview
The Bachelor of Civil Engineering program was developed in 2019 based on the analogy of the world-renowned accredited program (Accreditation Program (ABET- Council for Engineering and Technology Accreditation) of San Diego State University (SDSU), Civil Engineering. The program aims to train highly qualified specialists in the field of engineering and focuses on areas of civil engineering such as water resources engineering, structural and geotechnical engineering, and transport engineering.
The mission of Civil Engineering at Ilia State University is to prepare our students for careers in their chosen area of specialization. As such, the program aims to provide quality instruction, advisory services, and student support to ensure students achieve their goals and gain the knowledge and experience required to succeed in the demanding field of civil engineering
The Program Educational Objectives of the Civil Engineering program are closely aligned with Ilia University’s mission of advancing science to the benefit of society locally and internationally.
Program Objectives
This program focuses on the delivery of interdisciplinary courses to create well-rounded holistic thinkers, problem solvers, and future leaders in the civil engineering fields of water, transport, structural and geotechnical engineering. To complement the interdisciplinary learning promoted by this program, students will have the ability to take business administration courses to acquire managerial skills that are instrumental to a successful professional career.
Within the program, fundamental courses in maths, physics, chemistry, and additional natural science electives build to later courses in engineering design. The program is structured to ensure adequate incremental practical and theoretical knowledge in the field of Civil Engineering. Program graduates will be competitive professionals in Georgia or abroad in areas of project and engineering design and management. They will also be able to continue their education at the master’s level of studies.
Main areas of study
- Maths, Physics and Chemistry Foundation Courses:
60 ECTS of Foundation Maths, Physics and Chemistry with associated laboratories ensures a good base for continued advanced learning for our civil engineering students.
General Education:
General Education includes courses (56 ECTS) in line with the philosophical direction of Ilia State University
including “Construction and Culture” specifically tailored for engineers and the following language courses
Practical Course of Georgian for Foreigners / Practical Course of German/English – 12 ECTS
* International students must pass both Practical Courses of Georgian; local students must pass Practical Courses of German or English language.
Major Program:
- Mandatory courses of Civil Engineering Bachelor program – 108 ECTS (including 8 design ECTS)
- Mandatory/elective courses Civil Engineering Bachelor Program – 24 ECTS
- Internship – 4 ECTS
Mandatory/elective course choices: Students choose four courses from the following six areas (no more than 1 in each area – this ensures a broad knowledge base that can be further specified in graduate studies).
Water and Environmental – Civil Engineering (Applied Hydrology).
Transportation – Civil Engineering (Traffic Engineering, Highway Engineering).
Structural – Civil Engineering (Structural Engineering – 2 options).
Geotechnical – Civil Engineering (GeotechnicalEngineering).
