Bachelor of Engineering Program in Civil Engineering (English Program)
The Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Kasetsart University, is one of the country’s leading institutions in education and training of graduates specializing in civil engineering. These graduates play a crucial role in driving economic growth and national development. Currently, the rapid advancement of technology has led to transformations in every stage of the construction industry, from design and planning to construction, inspection, evaluation, and structural maintenance, along with increased focus on resilient and sustainable infrastructure. As a result, civil engineers must be well-equipped with fundamental knowledge, the ability to apply new technologies and innovations, and efficient management skills to meet the needs of the industry and foster intellectual growth. Therefore, the Department of Civil Engineering focuses its curriculum on producing civil engineering graduates with a strong foundation of knowledge, technological expertise, and management skills, preparing them for the workforce and research opportunities.
Curriculum
In addition to basic science, mathematics, and fundamental engineering courses (please see program structure), students in this program are required to take courses in these specialized fields:
- Construction Management – the management of construction materials, machinery, manpower and capital in the construction industry.
- Geotechnical Engineering – the behavior of soils and rocks for above and underground structures, such as buildings, bridges, tunnels, and dams.
- Structural Engineering – the mechanics of structural elements and strength of materials, the analysis and design of timber, steel, reinforced and prestressed concrete, and composite structures.
- Survey Engineering – the mapping of data from field surveying, aerial photographs and remote sensing devices.
- Transportation Engineering – the systems of land, sea and air transport, highway design, traffic flow and mass transportation systems.
The Bachelor of Engineering Program in Civil Engineering was accredited by Thailand’s Council of Engineers, whereby graduates can apply for their professional license to practice civil engineering in Thailand.
In order to fulfill graduation requirements, students must complete a minimum of 146 credits and participate in a summer internship program. Fourth year students can choose to apply for a 4 month cooperative educational program with industrial sector or institute.
