Course Overview
Demystify civil engineering essentials for non-engineers.
Course Overview
In multidisciplinary projects across infrastructure, energy, and industrial sectors, many professionals from non-civil engineering backgrounds must engage with civil engineering concepts—whether in project planning, procurement, contract management, or technical oversight. This practical course demystifies the core principles of civil engineering for non-specialists, equipping participants with the foundational knowledge to understand drawings, materials, construction techniques, and site operations. It empowers decision-makers to communicate more effectively with technical teams, manage civil aspects of projects with confidence, and avoid costly misunderstandings.
What you’ll learn
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
– Interpret basic civil drawings, specifications, and construction documents.
– Evaluate materials, site conditions, and structural elements in project delivery.
– Manage interface between civil, mechanical, electrical, and architectural disciplines.
– Identify risk areas and best practices in civil engineering execution.
