Executive Summary

To ensure that civil engineers have the appropriate skills and knowledge, the Universities of

Haramaya, Arba Minch, Hawassa and Madawalabu work together in the on-going

development and implementation of a revised degree program in Civil and Urban Engineering.

This program incorporates the core subjects of engineering science and is founded upon the

same theoretical base of basic sciences and mathematics as other civil engineering degrees in

the country. It therefore meets all the requirements of a civil engineering degree. Where it

differs is in the focus of the applications subjects, which are all related specifically to the

urban context, and in its management focus, which again links to the management of urban

infrastructure. Finally the program has introduced new practical modules, including both

general and specialized workshop practices, the mandatory industry placement and two new

civil engineering design projects.

The new study program has a total duration of 10 semesters including a one semester industry

placement for on job training. Each semester carries approximately 30 ECTS and the total

ECTS load of the program is 300, which includes elective modules.

The 1st semester is devoted to orientation studies common to all engineering students. The 2

nd

to 8th

semesters focus on the core civil and urban engineering studies. At the end of the 8th

semester, the student takes a holistic examination covering all core study modules. The

industry placement will be at the 9th

semester following a successful result in the exam. The

7th

and 8th

semesters each have a major design project, as well as further study in advanced

core topics and management subjects. 50% of the 10th

semester is devoted to the B.Sc. thesis,

with the remainder continuing the advanced core, and management, studies.

The program has a modularized structure and is composed of 23 modules grouped into nine

categories, four of which comprise the design projects, B.Sc. thesis, industry placement

(internship) and the electives. The remaining five categories comprise general science and

engineering, social science and humanities, mechanics, urban engineering and infrastructure

management. Overall the program is designed in such a way as to provide a logic flow

through the full 10 semesters, constructed around three major categories of civil engineering

mechanics, urban engineering and management studies.


3

The target population for admission into the Civil and Urban Engineering program is

primarily students who have successfully completed the 10 plus 2 years preparatory

secondary education and have secured a minimum cut-off point with high scores in Physics

and Mathematics.

Admissions to all regular undergraduate programs in all public institutions are processed

through the Ministry of Education (MoE) of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia.

1 BACKGROUND

1.1 Introduction

Civil Engineering is an important application of science, which plays a major role in the

social and economic development of modern society. In order to perform this role

effectively, civil engineers require a broad understanding of scientific principles,

knowledge of materials, and the capacity to analysis and synthesis in order to design

solutions. This requires research, team working, and leadership and business skills. And

it has to be situated in a social, economic and environmental context that reflects the

reality within which the civil engineer finds him/herself.

In Ethiopia, civil engineering has great role to play in supporting economic development

and an important contribution to make towards the improvement of the living standard

of the people. This role and contribution input at different geospatial scales, from the

Federal to the local, in both an urban and a rural context. As a country that is moving

into a rapid phase of urban growth, the contribution that civil engineering can make to

ensuring that this urban growth is sustainable is a particularly important one. It is

therefore of vital importance that civil engineers are prepared, professionally, to meet

this urban challenge and contribute to sustainable urban development.

1.2 The Rationale Civil and Urban Engineering Programme

The revised five year curriculum provides an opportunity to modify the current

programme, and to focus on the application of civil engineering knowledge and skills

gained in the learning process towards a specific area, namely urban engineering. The

objective is to produce civil engineering graduates who will be able to contribute to the

development of Ethiopia within a framework of sustainable urban development.

The Universities of Haramaya, Hawassa, Arbaminich & Madawalabu working together

have decided to focus on the rapidly expanding urban sector, which will constitute one

of the major areas of growth in civil engineering in the foreseeable future. To best

support this focus, the Universities have agreed with the name of the degree offered by

Civil and Urban Engineering Department as „„B.Sc. in Civil and Urban Engineering‟‟.


6

The concept of dual named degree of this type is not without precedent. A degree in

Civil and Environmental Engineering, for example, is widely recognised in the United

States of America and, in an African context, has been adopted by the Department of

Civil Engineering at the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa. The concept of a

dual named degree has been taken and adopted here to provide a degree that will better

enable civil engineers to understand the urban environment within which they will be

working, and will be a major focus for civil engineering work in the future.

Ethiopia currently has a low level of urbanisation, with approximately 16% of its

population living in urban areas. The rate of urbanisation, however, increasingly, and is

currently between 5-6% per year. This means a doubling of the population every 12

years, a situation that could result in the urban population increasing from its current

level of 11-12 million to over 40 million over the next 25 years.

To provide infrastructures at a rate that keeps pace with demand will require innovation,

use of affordable technologies and understanding of social issues related to

environmental opportunities and constraints. These topics often lie outside of the scope

of a conventional civil engineering degree, yet a sound knowledge of them is essential

for civil engineers who choose to work in this urban environment, whether as

consultants, municipal staff or government decision makers. This knowledge is

encapsulated within the scope of „urban engineering‟ an area of application of

knowledge and skills that specifically equips civil engineers to work in this complex

socio-economic and spatial environment. Hence the program in Civil and Urban

Engineering combines civil engineering knowledge and expertise with a set of

applications and management skills to work in the urban environment.

An important attribute of the degree in Civil and Urban Engineering is to meet all the

continuous technical requirements of a civil engineering degree. The introductory

courses in Science and Mathematics are almost identical to those of the other degrees in

Civil Engineering in Ethiopia. The core engineering subjects such as Structural,

Geotechnical and Water/Hydraulics Engineering is also remains the same, although the

teaching approach of these subjects is different.


7

The major difference between this degree and a conventional civil engineering degree

(as taught in Ethiopia) lies in the focus of its applications topics, which are directed

towards the needs of the urban sector, and the introduction of management subjects,

which provide the student with knowledge of infrastructure management. In adopting

this new format, the Department of Civil Engineering has taken advantage of the change

to a five-year curriculum, to attain outcome based education and to restructure the

content. Instead of teaching a wide range of application subjects that cover the full

spectrum of civil engineering activities, the degree program has focused on those

applications that are most relevant to the urban environment. Similarly the management

subjects are more focused on urban infrastructure management. Therefore the result will

be tight structured program and strong thematic approach.

2 Objectives

The Objective of this B.Sc. program is to produce outstanding civil and urban

engineering graduates who have been trained to become technological, managerial and

public service leaders capable of understanding the social and environmental challenges

that face the country, and who will be in a position to make a meaningful contribution to

both national social and economic growth and development as well as being able to

respond to, and benefit from the impact of global change.

This program is aimed primarily at training engineers required for building and

developing the cities and towns of the future, though the skills imparted will also enable

the graduates to work in all other fields of civil engineering. It will produce well

qualified engineers who are knowledgeable in the core engineering science areas of

structural, geotechnical and hydraulic engineering. The graduates will also have

knowledge of civil engineering infrastructure as a resource and service, which ensures

that they can be actively, engaged in the planning, development and management of

civil engineering infrastructure projects. Specifically, the trainees will be equipped with

the knowledge that enables them to execute the following tasks:

Undertake project identification, pre-feasibility and feasibility studies in a

challenging social and economic context, and design civil engineering works that

are both sustainable and appropriate to the context.

Prepare contract documents for civil engineering projects that can be undertaken by

either machine- or labour-based construction methods.

6. CONCEPT

6.1. Structure of the B.Sc. Study Program in Civil and Urban Engineering

The program has substantially restructured into a 5-year B.Sc. program by:

Expanding the scope of the existing civil engineering degree to incorporate urban

engineering, and renaming the program accordingly;

Reviewing all department-run courses and modifying and adapting the content to an

outcomes-based approach;

Reviewing all department-run courses in terms of relevance, and updating the

content where necessary;

Converting the program to a modular structure with a clear logic flow and coherent

linkages between modules;

Creating a much stronger applications;

Introducing a mandatory industry placement after the first four years of study;

Introducing management courses into the post-industry placement semesters; and

Seeking international accreditation.

The restructured B.Sc. program employs the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS),

which has been successfully tested and used across Europe over the ten year period

following the Bologna Declaration of June 1999.


14

The new structure of studies consists of ten semesters including one semester of

Internship (industry placement). Each semester carries approximately 30 ECTS and the

total ECTS load of the program is 300.

6.2. Background of the Civil and Urban Engineering Department

The 1st semester – common to all engineering students – is devoted to orientation study,

where the students will be exposed to basic engineering concepts and improve their

understanding of what is involved in being an engineer, through a series of introductory

courses and hands-on workshop exercises. Following the orientation semester, the

student will go through 7 semesters of basic civil engineering studies, coupled with

topics in civil engineering applications and infrastructure management, both directed

towards addressing civil and urban engineering challenges. At the end of the 8th

semester, the students will take a holistic exam covering all basic study modules. The

holistic exam is optional.

After successful completion of the design projects and other advanced studies, students

will receive an industry placement, or internship, which will place at the 9th

semester

(see table 1). The 10th

semester has a major emphasis on the B.Sc. thesis, which

comprises 15 ECTS, again supported some advanced study modules and courses related

to management and professional practice.

6.3. Teaching aims, Modularization and ECTS

As indicated in the Graduate Profile of a Civil and Urban Engineering, the qualified

civil and urban engineer will have studied an internationally recognised level of credits

in engineering science, as well as a strong foundation in mathematics and basic science.

The graduate will also have exposure to a range of civil engineering applications which

are linked to the urban engineering aspect of the degree, as well as a range of social

issues and management subjects.

To achieve this variety of inputs, it is essential to create a logical sequence of the degree

program and a clear inter-connectivity between different components of the program.

This is achieved by creating a modular structure, which comprises three „levels‟:

1. Categories: These define the broad areas of study, setting out a thematic approach

to the study program, and reflecting the broad objectives of the program.

2. Modules: In order to achieve the desired objectives of the program, modules are

designed under the different outcome based categories of study. Thus the modules

are the building blocks of the outcomes-based approach.

3. Courses: The courses are discretely defined elements within a module. Courses

define the ECTS structure which indicates the study and contact hours. In this way

they provide the linkage between the modules (primary descriptors), and the

timetable structure. Each course should result in a transfer of knowledge (the

objective) and skills (competencies) that are appropriate to the rationale and

objectives of the module to which the course belongs.


16

In this program there are nine categories (themes) which run through the study program in

the format illustrated in Table 2.

The percentage distribution of these categories is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Percentage distribution of categories

With the exception of the B.Sc. thesis and the internship, which are self contained, the

categories illustrated above each contain a number of modules. The broad relationship

between categories and modules is described in section 4.4. A more detailed description,

covering the distribution of subject categories; modular structure; general time table;

study program overview (structure and ECTS points for entire study program); and

module characterization; can be found in the Appendix A.

6.4. Description of Modules

Category I: General Science and Engineering - Modules 1-4

These four modules comprise the basic science and mathematics component of the

program and constitute a total of 51ECTS

Category II: Social Science and Humanities - Module 5

This module, which corresponds to a category, provides an introduction to social science

and humanities topics that provide an important perspective for civil engineers and lays

the basis for further teaching of social context in the urban engineering applications

module that constitute a total of 21ECTS .


18

Category III: Engineering Mechanics - Modules 6-8

These modules cover structural analysis, structural design and geotechnical engineering.

The three have been linked together in a single category termed mechanics. The

objective here is to illustrate the linkage between these three modules, thereby providing

students with a more holistic understanding of these key subject areas. Together the

three modules provide 53 ECTS. In addition, of the three elective topics provided later,

at least one has to be within the category of civil engineering mechanics, providing an

additional five ECTS (providing a total of 58 ECTS). This strong emphasis on

mechanics ensures that students will have an adequate foundation to be able to pursue a

career in either structural or geotechnical engineering should they choose to do so.

Category IV: Urban Engineering - Modules 9-13

These five modules together provide the applications topics for civil engineers focussing

on urban infrastructure. After the first module, which provides an introduction to the

topic, the remaining modules cover three aspects of urban engineering in an integrated

format. Thus urban water infrastructure incorporates both the theoretical aspect of

hydraulics and hydrology with the practical applications in this area. Sanitation and

solid waste management are situated in the context of renewable/re-usable resources and

linked to broader urban energy and resource use. And networks closely links network

planning and transportation with geometric and structure pavement design. The total

ECTS provides 54.

Category V: Infrastructure Management - Modules 14-19

The grouping of the modules within this category of infrastructure management has two

objectives. The first is intended to illustrate how much of contemporary civil

engineering actually comprises major elements of management, including professional

practice and the use and manipulation of spatial data. The second is to extend this

management approach into the urban context, strengthening the civil engineers

understanding of both financial management (of infrastructure) and environmental

management (infrastructure as a resource). The total ECTS provides 54.


19

Category VI: Design Projects - Module 20

There are two design projects in the program, one each in the 7th

and 8th

semesters, each

of which is equivalent to 4 ECTS credits. The use of two projects ensures that the

students will have sufficient scope to use the knowledge they have gained in the three

key categories of mechanics, urban engineering and management, them variously in an

appropriate scientific, environmental, economic or social context. The design projects

are carried out in a group and developed through team work.

The structure of the projects takes students through a four stage learning process:

Work together as a team and internally allocate tasks;

Identify, assess and formulate the civil engineering problem;

Perform creative design and synthesis to provide a solution;

Understand, and articulate, the social and environmental impact of the project.

This work will require interaction with practitioners and others stakeholders. The project

will finalize in a formal presentation by the group to other students, staff and

professional practitioners.

Category VII: Electives - Module 21

Students will have electives to choose from which will generally comprise advanced

study in one of the previous study modules. In this way the elective, which is a course,

retains its broader linkage to the module structure. All modules have been given an

equal credit rating (5 ECTS credits) and at least one elective in structural or geotechnical

engineering. Students wishing to pursue a career in one of these two areas could take all

of their electives in these areas should they so wish, thereby providing a strong

theoretical basis from which to pursue further academic study in either of these two

areas. Alternatively students can focus on one of the applications areas in which to gain

more in-depth knowledge.

Category VIII: B.Sc. Thesis - Module 22

This module has been introduced into the final semester, where it provides students with

an opportunity to demonstrate their ability to develop an integrated assessment of a

problem in civil and urban engineering, through individual study. The student should

demonstrate the ability to provide a solution to the problems, demonstrate technical

competence in the approach, and be able to communicate this solution in a clear and

well-articulated manner. The module has a total of 15 ECTS credits.


20

Category IX: Internship- Module- 23

The internship module which is described in greater detail in section 4.5.Following from

the description outlined above, the allocation of ECTS credits, related to module and

category, is illustrated in Table 3 below.

6.5. Internship (Industry Placement)

General

The new Bachelor of Science (BSc) program in civil and urban engineering requires

students to undertake a one-semester internship (industry placement) after the successful

completion of all parts of the study program completed until the end of the 8th

semester

(see table 1). Note that the term „industry‟ is used here in a broad sense and includes

government enterprises, professional consultancies as well as the construction industry.

During the internship, the daily and monthly working times follow the systems practiced

in the respective industry for middle-level management. Specifically, they follow the

system practiced in the respective company that hosts the student. As a rule, the entire

internship period has to be spent in a single company; a change of company during the

internship period will only be permitted under extraordinary circumstances. In such a

case, the decision is with the university industry linkage (UIL) Internship Coordinator.

A seminar program, organized by the UIL Internship Coordinator, will accompany the

internship semester. Participation in the seminar program is mandatory.

At the end of the internship, the student submits to the UIL Internship Coordinator a

comprehensive report, duly endorsed by the student‟s host company. The report is

assigned 30 ECTS. The required format and assessment of the report is detailed in the

Curriculum for the civil and urban engineering department. The report will be assessed

by specifically assigned university lecturers (internship program evaluators).

Academic Requirements

The academic requirements for entry into the internship (industry-placement semester)

is the successful completion of all parts of the study program completed until the end of

the 8th

semester and project design module.

6.6. Teaching Context (Methods of Instructions)

In addition to normal lecture based teaching, students will develop their skills and

knowledge through active learning in a variety of ways. Group work in laboratories and

design classes is encouraged, since this will allow the students to interact informally


22

with lecturers, technical staff and postgraduate assistants. Computer assisted learning

will also be a feature of some classes.

Overall, the teaching methodology comprises the following:

Classroom lectures, duly supported by audio-visual aids, demonstrations and

distribution of notes pertaining to the subject, whenever possible or wherever

necessary,

Laboratory experiments and design assignments,

Instructional tours to appropriate establishments, construction sites, field stations,

factories etc.

Classroom discussions and lectures by renowned professionals,

Enhanced use of modern computing facilities in the teaching-learning environment.

Student Advisory Service

All students will be allocated a member of staff to advise them, from admission until

graduation. Students are encouraged to regularly visit their advisors. The advisor can

assist in course selection and timing as well as general career guidance. The department

has an open door policy that allows students to visit their advisor regularly. Each staff

member has a time schedule posted by their door indicating hours available for student

consultation.

7. Quality Assurance mechanism

The quality aspect of this curriculum will be ensured by both internal and external

bodies. The external bodies will include quality assurance auditors from the

ministry of education and different stakeholders, while the curriculum will be

assured internally by the quality assurance office of the university.

Comprehensive examinations and colleague assessment of examination

papers and teaching methods;

Periodical workshops (with stakeholders, teachers and graduates);

Assessments by using survey project works (researches), internships, and

link programs;

Graduates' evaluation of the program;

Standardization of course offerings through preparation of general course

outlines, exam contents, and external audit;

Annual assessment of the program by the teaching staff;


23

Establishing Alumni of Graduates as a mechanism to assess their career

development;

Working closely with the relevant professional associations to assess

graduates' performance.

Ensuring lab sessions conduction manner as per the requirements set in the

curriculum.

Module Number 10

Module Name Urban Water Infrastructure

Rationale of the

module

Water is a valuable resource that is also essential to life. Yet water stress and

scarcity is becoming increasingly common internationally. In Ethiopia, which is

considered relatively water rich, the point at which water is available does not

correspond necessarily with the point of demand, resulting in many urban areas

having only limited access to water. Under these circumstances urban water use

needs to be managed in holistic way to ensure that supplies are sustainable into

the future at a level that can match urban growth.

Module objective The objective of this module is to integrate all the major components of the urban

water cycle and integrate theoretical aspect of hydraulics with the different

applications in water supply and urban drainage.

Competency Students should be competent to apply their theoretical knowledge to address the

major issues associated with the urban water cycle.

1. Introduction

This document will present the human resource and infrastructure requirements for running

the newly harmonized 5-year program, Civil & Urban Engineering curriculum.. The main

objective of the harmonized curriculum is to produce practice-oriented and competent

engineers to support the overall industrial and economic development of the country. The

harmonized curriculum includes human resource development, teaching and learning facilities

(laboratory, library, workshop and computer laboratory). After finalizing the professional

profiling and curriculum development, the human resources and infrastructure required to

meet the new curriculum has been assessed and the findings of this assessment are presented

in this document.

2. Human Resources Requirements and Staff Development Plan

2.1 Background

The Civil and Urban Engineering Department is now facing acute shortage of academic staff

to run the undergraduate Program and the staff requirement could not be met even to the

minimum level. Due to this fact, most of the courses at present are being handled by guest

lecturers from other universities and the industry.

The academic staffs of the Department are composed of Ethiopians and expatriates. The

Department can be characterized as one of the department in the Institute of Technology with

inadequate number of academic staff. Table 2.1 shows a summary of the academic staff

profile of the Civil and Urban Engineering Department and Table 2.2 to Table 2.4 show

details of the academic staff.

2.2Assessment of the Available and Expected National Academic Staff

The assessment of the staff is done for duration of five years. It is clear that the Department

should have adequate national staff in a reasonable period of time to run the new curriculum.

This assessment is done to achieve a professor student ratio of 1:20 at the end of the study

horizon. While this assessment is done for those under the study leave, attrition rate of 50% is

assumed. it is assumed that staff retention mechanisms will be established with incentives

like; offer of PhD for M.Sc holders and M.Sc for graduate assistants with two year service

within the Department.

2.4 Academic Staff Shortage and Staff Requirements

For the existing curriculum there is an acute shortage of academic staff. There are limited staff

member at Msc and PhD level. Hence this shortage should be filled to provide effective

lectures and project advising for the new curriculum. The assessment should be done based on

the work load of each academic staff. The work load for each professor is done with the

existing condition i.e. each professor will have 12 contact hours. Hence each professor will

offer three courses or two courses with six individual MSc thesis advising and graduate

assistants are assigned strictly to provide tutorial classes. Comparing the available academic

staff in relation to the number of courses and student‟s project works each year, the shortage

in number of staff is identified. This gap in academic staff number every semester is believed

to be bridged by hiring expatriate staff with MSc and PhD qualifications as it is difficult to

find qualified people in the local market.

Lecturers. As indicated above this problem will be solved by hiring a number of expatriate

staff. This approach only doesn‟t bring a solution to staff shortage problem on the long run.

The Department should hire large number of Graduate Assistants and train them to MSc and

PhD level. It is recommended to send these recruited Graduate Assistants for their MSc after

two year service, so as to meet the staff requirement of the new curriculum as soon as possible.

The Graduate Assistants recruitment plan is shown on Table 2.7. A large number of

Technical Assistants are also required for the new practice oriented curriculum. The

Department‟s Technical Assistant requirement for the five year period is shown on Table 2.7.

To strengthen the laboratories and organize them, to have one foreign technical expert is

suggested. The input of the foreign expert is particularly to train the other Technical

Assistants and to make many of the non-functional equipment functional. The Technical

Assistants hired from abroad will stay for two years period. The budget request for hiring the

Graduate Assistants and the Technical Assistants is not included in this request. It is believed

that this budget would be made available as a recurrent budget of the Department after

approval by the ECBP and the University.

Graduate Assistants are strictly assumed to provide tutorials and laboratory classes. This

requirement would be made available as a recurrent budget.

2.7 Academic Staff Training Requirements

To meet the national and international standards of education, qualified and experienced

academic staffs are required. Hence to achieve these objectives the training and human

resource development of the national academic staff is important. The goal of this staff

development is to have a staff student ratio of 1:20 at the end of the planning period. Thus, the

general staff development plan budget is presented together with the budget requirement for

other infrastructures in Appendix D.

2 Scour Sensor (quantity 3; cost 16000 Birr each)

The Load-Cell Scour Sensor is sensitive to small changes in sediment load and can measure infilling of gravel and cobbles with fine-grained sediment. Ideal uses for the sensor include monitoring scour at bridge piers or similar structures.

The load-cell sensor can provide unattended measurement and documentation of scour, deposition, and sediment transport in ephemeral streams. Installation of multiple sensors in two or more closely spaced cross sections will enable automated slope-area determinations of discharge and establishment of rating curves at sites in sand channels that are inaccessible during flow. Additional uses of the sensor include scour at bridge piers and similar structures, studies of liquefaction or quicksand, and beach erosion.

The load-cell scour sensor consists of a shallow, stamped 10 inch by 6 inch rectangular stainless steel vessel, and the sensors are tested to 30 pounds per square inch and can be buried to a depth of 40 feet. Sensor output cables come in 50 ft. standard lengths with a 4-20 ma signal to a data-logger.

Specifications:

1) SWC–150 Fredlund SWCC Device

Unsaturated soil testing system used to obtain the complete soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) of any soil. The Fredlund SWCC Device allows you to control suctions up to 15 bars and is capable of applying one-dimensional loading to specimens with a diameter of up to 71 mm. This device includes a pressure panel with dual gauges and regulators for increased precision at low-pressure ranges and a miniature heater to prevent water vapor condensation. It also includes the necessary plumbing and valves to measure the diffused air. Several different High-Air- Entry-Value (HAEV) ceramic stones are available and can be easily interchanged. Normal loads can be applied to the specimen using dead weights or, using a loading frame. Requires clean, dry compressed air or nitrogen bottle.

1.1) SWC–PCA Pressure Cell Assembly

Stainless steel SWCC cell with a load piston to apply normal stresses and/or measure specimen volume change. Accommodates soil specimens with up to 71-mm in diameter and up to 50 mm in height. The assembly includes load balance pressure compensator for uplift forces on normal load piston.

1.2) SWC–PCP Pressure Control Panel
