Civil Engineering Courses in Nigeria

Last updated on February 13, 2020 by The Counselor

I am very much aware that many students are looking for Civil Engineering courses in Nigeria. Civil Engineering itself is a course of its own that can be studied in Nigeria universities. But then, many student wants to know the courses related to Civil Engineering in other to make a decision on what they really want to study.

The main aim of this post is to show Civil Engineering courses in Nigeria as well as the Civil Engineering course outline for those who wish to study Civil Engineering. This course is a very competitive course and you must prepare well.

Preparation starts from your O level, JAMB and Post UTME. By definition, Civil Engineering courses in Nigeria usually involve the study of planning, design, and supervising the construction of facilities essential to modern life like space satellites and launching facilities, offshore structures, bridges, buildings, tunnels, highways, transit systems, dams, airports, harbours, water supply system and wastewater treatment plants.

A Civil Engineer is responsible for planning and designing a project, constructing the project to the required scale, and maintenance of the project. A civil engineer requires not only a high standard of engineering knowledge but also supervisory and administrative skills.

Most structures, large and small, require the help of a civil engineer whether in the designing, planning or managing of the project. Civil engineers also help to preserve our environment by assisting in the cleaning up of existing pollution and planning ways to reduce future pollution of our air, land and water.
