Course Description
This course covers engineering design and encourages students to develop their engineersmanship. There is more to design than analysis and following codes, and students discover that it is a creative and innovative process. Many parts of the civil and environmental engineering curriculums involve mechanistic and law-like solutions to problems, guided by text books and design standards. Rapid urbanization around the world means problems are becoming more complex and unexpected requiring solutions for which text books and design standards are of limited use.

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.
