Diploma in Civil Engineering

Course Introduction

Civil Engineering is one of the prominent and popular disciplines within engineering. The curriculum is designed for producing middle level technical workforce equipped with knowledge and skills related to the field of Civil Engineering to meet the demand of such workforce in the country to contribute in the national economic development of Nepal. The knowledge and skills incorporated in this curriculum will be helpful to deliver the individual needs as well national needs in the field of Civil Engineering. Many people in the developed countries, developing countries and under developed countries have given emphasis for the broader application of Civil Engineering. This field has been helping the world for the allround physical infrastructure development and it has been creating wage and selfemployment opportunities both in public and private sectors.


The Diploma in Civil Engineering programme extends over three years. Each year is divided into two semesters. There are six semesters in total within the period of three years. The foundational subjects like Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics are offered in diffusion model of curricular programme are applicable in the field of Civil Engineering. It also includes language subjects like Nepali and English applicable for the communication in the same area. The disciplinary subjects of Civil Engineering are offered in this programme are included in all semesters. This curricular programme also makes provision of project works as well as elective subjects in the specific areas of Civil Engineering. The curriculum structure and the subject wise content that reflect the details of this curriculum. In brief, this curriculum will guide to its implementers to produce competent and highly employable middle level technical workforces in the field of civil engineering.


The contents of each subjects prescribed in the curriculum are incorporated in the light of “must know and must do” principle. The contents of the curriculum are minutely described in micro level.
