Diploma in Civil Engineering (Specialized in Hydropower)

Civil Engineering (Specialized in Hydropower Engineering) is one of the prominent disciplines in engineering sector. Many people in the developed countries, developing countries and under developed countries have emphasized for the broader application of Civil and Hydropower Engineering. This has been helping the world for the all-round physical infrastructure development and it has been creating wage and self- mployment opportunities both in public and private sectors. This curriculum is based on the academic requirements to enter bachelor as well as designed with the purpose of producing middle level technical workforce equipped with knowledge and skills related to the field of civil engineering, especially in hydropower engineering so as to meet the demand of such workforce in the country to contribute in the national infrastructure development in the country.
The knowledge and skills incorporated in this curriculum will be helpful to deliver the individual needs as well as national and international needs in the field of hydropower sector. This course is based on the job required to perform by the Civil and Hydropower Engineering Technical workforce (Civil/Hydropower Sub-Engineer) at different levels of public and private sectors for physical infrastructures development. There are six semesters in total in three year’s course duration. The first year course focuses on foundational and core subjects of Engineering; the second year course focuses on basic disciplinary subjects of Civil Engineering and Hydropower Engineering. Similarly, the third year whole courses comprise of the disciplinary subjects including provision of elective subjects. Moreover, the third year insists on the application of learned skills and knowledge through the minor project and major project.
The foundational subjects like Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics are offered in diffusion model of curricular programme. It also includes language subjects like Nepali and English applicable for the communication in the same area. The disciplinary subjects of Hydropower 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 Hydropower 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 technical workforces in the field of civil/hydropower engineering.
