Program Overview

The Facilities and Infrastructure Engineering program, formerly known as Public Works Engineering, is at the heart of public facilities and infrastructure development programs in cities and at national levels. Facilities and infrastructure engineers deal with providing effective, efficient, and sustainable public infrastructure. The program aims to provide civil engineers with specialized knowledge in planning sustainable facilities and infrastructure, infrastructure management, survey engineering, water and wastewater networks, and solid waste management.

Career Prospects

Facilities and infrastructure engineers use their expertise in areas such as surveying, construction engineering, environmental engineering, transportation planning, traffic engineering, and computer analysis to solve problems related to planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of facilities and infrastructure systems. These systems include roads, airports, highway networks, transportation systems, railway systems, traffic management systems, water and wastewater networks, and solid waste management facilities. Graduates of this program can work with:

• Government authorities
• Municipalities
• Urban infrastructure organizations
• Civil engineering and construction consulting offices
• Civil engineering contractors and project managers
• Water and wastewater utility companies
• Transportation authorities and operating companies
• Environmental engineering organizations
• Water regulatory bodies

Program Objectives

In addition to the skills required for all engineering programs, graduates of the Facilities and Infrastructure Engineering program should be able to:

• Identify principles in areas such as surveying, geodesy, photogrammetry, remote sensing, road and airport engineering, traffic engineering, transportation planning, railway engineering, water and wastewater systems, and relevant codes of practice and standards.
• Plan and design roads, highways, railway systems, transportation systems, traffic management systems, water and wastewater networks, and treatment facilities, and produce civil engineering drawings.
• Consider environmental issues in transportation planning, traffic engineering, water and wastewater systems, and solid waste management, conduct field and laboratory measurements, and assess the environmental impact of public works engineering projects.
• Use a wide range of tools, techniques, equipment, and analytical packages in surveying, remote sensing, transportation engineering, and water and wastewater systems.
• Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of maintenance of different types of roads, airports, and pavements.
• Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of transportation planning and traffic engineering models and systems at various planning levels.
• Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of topographic and geodetic surveying techniques, processes, equipment, and operations in engineering projects.
• Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of railway engineering and railway operation systems.
• Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of water and wastewater networks, treatment facilities, and environmental pollution.
