Masters of Science in Infrastructure Engineering and Management (MSIEM), as the name suggests, is targeted to achieve proper understanding with regard to the various subjects in civil engineering. The focus of the programme is to train the students in deeper theoretical knowledge which shall enable them to tackle practical complex problems of design and development in academic and industrial fields, as well as to pursue further academic achievements through research. This programme is also targeted to equip students with a range of transferable skills, an ideal combination for a successful career in civil engineering.
The entire program is designed to consist of two academic years divided into four semesters of six months each. The course curriculum is organized in the overall framework of credit system. Each course offered has a certain number of credits which indicates the weightage. The number of credits depends on the course's contact hours and work load. Courses with one credit weightage will have 15 lecture hours per semester. The total credit for the master’s program is 60 credits, including 40 credits of core and elective courses, 4 credits of group project, and 16 credits of thesis.
Program Goals
- To provide the depth knowledge & understanding of civil Engineering Behavior of structures & their design in the prevailing context of Nepal.
- To develop self-directed in solving problem and able to autonomously in planning & implementation tasks at a professional level in Civil engineering field with full knowledge of different civil engineering software.
- To develop independent research in a topic relating to civil Engineering.
