Our Mission and Vision Statements

Our Mission

  • To produce Civil and Construction Engineers of high caliber, technical skills and ethical values as well as imbibe innovative and creative thinking in our graduates with a view of building them to face the challenges of the future.
  • To establish collaborative partnerships with academic, research and industrial bodies with a view of providing a knowledge base for existing and emerging technologies
  • To provide knowledge base consultancy services to the immediate and far communities in all areas of Civil and Construction Engineering.

    • Our Vision

    "To impart knowledge and excellence in Civil and Construction Engineering with global perspectives to our students with an intent to make them proficiently and ethically sound engineers in the building of a nation."

    Welcome to Department of Civil and Construction Engineering

    Civil Engineering is the second – oldest engineering discipline, preceded only by military engineering. It is perhaps the broadest of the engineering disciplines. It deals with the planning, design, construction and management of buildings, roads, bridges, dams, canals, rail-roads, airports, water – supply and wastewater systems, harbours, aqueducts, tunnels, and other engineered infrastructures. The major sub – divisions of Civil Engineering include

  • Structural Engineering,
  • Highway and Traffic Engineering,
  • Transportation Engineering,
  • Geotechnical Engineering,
  • Water Resources and Environmental Engineering,
  • Construction Engineering, Hydraulic Engineering and Irrigation Engineering. Civil and Construction Engineering Department, in the Lagos State University of Science and Technology, Ikorodu (LASUSTECH), has all the necessary academic personnel and expertise to operate fully, a Civil and Construction Engineering programme, in tandem with the global state of practice of the profession.

    Career Opportunities

    Civil Engineers have several employment opportunities in the public and private sectors of the national economy. These include Federal and State Government Establishments, Ministry of Lands and Housing, Maintenance Agencies and River Basin Development Authorities. Opportunities in the private sector include consulting (design) firms, construction companies, oil exploration, exploitation and servicing companies

    PHILOSOPHY

    The philosophy to this programme is in consonance with the national goals and objectives of industrialization and self–reliance. The undergraduates in Civil Engineering and Construction programme is geared towards early broad-based training in general engineering and technology; the development of a thorough engineering practice after training, practical application of Civil Engineering in meeting the basic human needs, and close association of the programme with engineering industries in the country.

    Graduates of the Civil Engineering and Construction programme should have acquired high academic standards with adequate practical background to be of immediate value to industry and the nation in general. The programme is structured in such away that students will have the opportunity to take courses that will provide a basic understanding of all areas of civil engineering practice, while they can concentrate on any of the following options in the final year: Structural Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Transportation Engineering, Water Resources, Environmental Engineering and Construction Engineering.

    OBJECTIVE

    The objectives of the programme are to adopt the principles of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) in:

    • develop in the students the ability to use their accumulated technical knowledge, sense of analysis, and creative design abilities, in various ways that can contribute to the development of a more satisfying life and environment for the country and for all mankind.
    • produce leaders, both in creativity and adaptability ,in the planning, design, evaluation, and analysis of technological innovation for improving the quality of the environment, and of life generally, in response to the ever – changing goals and needs of the Nigerian society.
    • produce graduates that have entrepreneurial skills for self – employment in the Civil and Construction Engineering profession; and
    • lay the foundation on which students can proceed to further studies in specialized aspects of Civil and Construction Engineering practice or multi-disciplinary areas involving Civil and Construction Engineering.
