Infrastructure Engineer
Infrastructure Engineering & Project Management
Mentorship Program Description:
This Mentorship Program provides essential knowledge and skills for infrastructure engineers involved in the design, construction, and management of civil infrastructure projects. Topics include highway engineering, bridge construction, drainage systems, urban utilities, quality control, and sustainability practices. The Mentorship Program also covers project planning, execution, and maintenance of public and private infrastructure.
Mentorship Program Objectives:
By the end of this Mentorship Program, students will be able to:
- Understand the roles and responsibilities of an infrastructure engineer.
- Design and supervise infrastructure projects like roads, bridges, and drainage systems.
- Perform geotechnical analysis and material selection for infrastructure projects.
- Implement quality control and safety measures in infrastructure works.
- Utilize surveying and GIS techniques for infrastructure planning.
- Manage project execution, scheduling, and budgeting.
- Ensure sustainability and environmental compliance in infrastructure projects.
