Key Summary
About: The BSc in Civil Engineering at the University of Georgia (Tbilisi) delivers broad education in civil engineering fundamentals, applications and design. The curriculum covers structural analysis and design, materials and construction, water and environment, and management and engineering economics. Students tailor study plan, complete a group Capstone project in the final semester, and may take an internship to gain field experience and develop teamwork and professional skills.
Career Outcomes: Graduates can work in structural engineering, construction management, geotechnical engineering, water resources and environmental engineering, materials engineering, project management, consulting, site supervision. They can also pursue postgraduate study or licensure.
The aim is to provide students with a broad and thorough education in Civil Engineering fundamentals, applications, and design that prepares them for the practice of civil engineering at the professional level with the confidence and skills necessary to meet the technical and social challenges of the future. The curriculum incorporates all four main technical areas of study in Civil Engineering including structural analysis and design, materials and construction, water and environment, as well as management and engineering economics.
Program Details
The student can be guided by the proposed curriculum and individually draw up his/her curriculum, taking into account the special needs of subjects. In the last semester of study, the student chooses a topic of Capstone project from the proposed areas. The Capstone project is carried out in groups, which contributes to the development of field knowledge and teamwork skills. The program provides an optional course internship, which will help the student, if necessary, to better formulate himself when choosing a topic for a Capstone project.
