Course Description
With the changing demands and expectations of civil engineers, law has become an essential part of the body of knowledge important to the discharge of daily tasks of civil engineers. Whether working for governments, private developers, consultants, contractors or sub-contractors, a core competence for the planning, design, construction and maintenance of projects is the ability to apply principles of laws to their works. These enable the proper management of projects and the areas of disputes arising thereunder. This course introduces the basic principles of laws with particular emphasis on those, which are relevant to the construction industry.
