Course Structure

What do civil engineering students study?

Branches of expertise in the engineering profession

– Structural Engineering and Construction Management
– Environmental engineering and water resources management
– Transportation systems, surveying and urban planning
– Geotechnical Engineering

The Civil Engineering Department was opened in 1989. Its current office is located on the 4th floor of the Siam Borommaratchakumari Building. It offers only one undergraduate degree program, the Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.). At present, there are 15 faculty members, consisting of 6 with doctoral degrees, 6 with master’s degrees, and 3 with bachelor’s degrees. One person holds the academic position of Associate Professor and 5 with Assistant Professors. The current Head of the Department is Assistant Professor Ponwit Buasri.

The Bachelor’s degree program in Civil Engineering covers many related fields, including…

Department of Structural Engineering
Structural engineering is responsible for analyzing, designing, selecting the appropriate type of structure and materials to enable the building structure to withstand the weight strongly and safely. In addition, it also controls the construction work to comply with standards, regulations and designs, and also studies and develops the properties of materials suitable for construction work. The nature of work in the field of structural engineering can be divided into reinforced concrete work, steel structure work and prestressed concrete work. Currently, some knowledge has diverged from the field of structural engineering, such as bridge engineering, which designs and constructs bridges as the main work. Earthquake engineering studies the analysis of earthquake waves and the design of structures that can withstand earthquake forces.

Construction Management Branch
The construction management branch is responsible for managing, planning the implementation and use of resources, tools, and people in construction work to be efficient, fast, and economically worthwhile, as well as construction techniques and project readiness. The positions of engineers who work in this branch include project managers and project engineers, who are usually engineers who come from construction control fields. After working for a certain period of time, they will be assigned to oversee administrative work.

Soil Engineering (Geotechnical Engineering)
Work in this field involves analyzing the bearing capacity of soil structures, designing piles, retaining walls, solving problems in soft soils, improving soil quality, stabilizing soils, designing various underground structures and finding construction methods suitable for soil conditions.

Water Resource Engineering
Water resources engineering is a branch that arises when the demand for water as a factor for living increases and sometimes there is a shortage of natural water. Therefore, water resources must be managed to distribute to communities equally. Water resources engineering plays this role. Subjects in water resources engineering consist of hydraulics applied together with hydrology. Students who wish to study in this branch must be able to analyze the issues and solve them by using appropriate water resources management technology. This is a factor to promote the development of the agricultural sector, housing, community physiology, and industrial development under the form of self-reliance, while also participating in supporting other branches of engineering. The obvious characteristics of the work include reservoirs, dams, spillways, water gates, water outlet buildings, water flow in waterways, pressure pipes, water turbines, water pumps, drainage, and flood prevention systems.

Transportation Engineering
Nowadays, transportation plays a very important role in our daily lives. It can be said that if there is no good transportation, the country will not develop. This is because transportation is a part of transportation that aims to move things, people or animals to other points by land, water, air and transportation systems (e.g. pipes). The duties of transportation engineering are planning, studying the feasibility of projects, studying the needs of transportation and travel, designing transportation systems to be convenient, fast, safe and economical. Examples of work in the field of transportation engineering

There is also a related branch, which is road engineering. Road engineering is a branch that deals with designing routes for land transportation, especially roads. It is a branch that has been around for a long time since the demand for cars has increased. The duties of road engineering include laying out road networks to provide access to as many areas as possible and to facilitate travel, laying out routes and designing road geometric features to be consistent with topography and economic conditions, overseeing road construction, selecting road materials, maintaining them, and laying out traffic signs and travel information. Agencies in the country that are involved in road construction include the Department of Highways, the Department of Public Works, the Office of Accelerated Rural Development, Bangkok, and various municipal offices, etc. 

Survey Engineering
Surveying engineering focuses on planning both horizontal and vertical terrain for construction work in wide areas. The purpose is to determine the correct location. Surveying engineering works are involved in many fields and are in the early stages of the project. Examples of surveying engineering works include surveying for mapping, road layout, surveying for vertical alignment of buildings, satellite surveying, etc.

Environmental Engineering
Formerly known as Sanitary Engineering, this branch of study was born from the deterioration of the world’s environment from industrial and technological advancements, which has caused many problems such as wastewater, waste, and air pollution. These problems are being given great importance by local, national, and international organizations. Environmental laws and standards have been increasingly enforced both domestically and internationally. The work of environmental engineering aims to manage and control work processes and production to minimize pollution, design and install pollution control systems. Examples of work in this branch include construction of wastewater collection and treatment systems, waste collection and disposal systems, filtration and water delivery systems, etc.

Highlights of the Department

The Civil Engineering program focuses on teaching and organizing courses to provide students with skills in engineering practice. It has modern materials, equipment, and laboratories. There are teachers who closely supervise students. There are projects to develop students’ potential to compete with engineers who graduated from other institutions, such as training in computer programs in both civil engineering and other management work, training to enhance English knowledge, organizing field activities for real experiments, etc. It also emphasizes continuous professional development even after graduation. It organizes knowledge development training for alumni and general engineers, such as building inspector training, professional training, and general seminars in cooperation with government agencies, private sectors, or various professional institutions. The special characteristics of graduates in the Civil Engineering program at Sripatum University are the ability to work in practice, patience, and perseverance in their work.
