Career and Further Education Prospect
Upon successful completion of the diploma course, the graduates have the opportunity either to further their study in the degree level program or apply for a job in the construction industry as a civil engineer assistant.
If they decided to further their study at UTHM, they can apply for a place in the Engineering Technology Faculty or Civil and Environmental Engineering Faculty to obtain the respective degree in Civil Engineering Technology or Civil Engineering.
For those interested to work, the civil engineer assistant job provides technical support to civil engineers on construction projects in the following areas:
- Structural – bridges, dams, buildings, offshore platforms and pipelines
- Transportation – roads, railways, tunnels and airports
- Environmental – public water supply networks, irrigation, drainage, waste disposal and sewage treatment
- Maritime – ports, harbours and sea defences.
Civil engineering offers many opportunities as well as the satisfaction of helping to improve and enhance public quality of life in many settings.
