BE CIVIL For Diploma Holders Program

Introduction:

Engineering education leading to Bachelor degree has a practice of taking students from two streams: i) after completion of intermediate in science (10+2, Higher Secondary or pre-university) and ii) after the completion of Diploma courses in different streams of engineering , technology and having acquired certain years of field based work experience. Both the streams of intake are in practice around the world. Across the globe, including Nepal, evolution of advanced engineering stemmed from Diploma level education which gradually advanced to Bachelor, Masters’ and Doctoral level. Academic progression after completion of Diploma in Engineering is considered better in many parts of the world. It is meritorious because it provides opportunity of building advanced theoretical knowledge and skill based learning.

Bachelor courses for Sub Engineers in different areas are offered to provide opportunity of academic advancement to those who aspire to take up advanced studies leading to Bachelor and Masters Degree. The aim of such course is to provide theoretical, analytical and practical skills through appropriate blending with the prior knowledge and practice based learning. As a result, the Sub Engineers are transformed into skilled engineers that lead to play an important role in designing, development, operation and management of engineering systems.

Nepal Engineering College (nec) entered into offering Bachelor course in Civil Engineering for Diploma graduates since 2000 A.D. in affiliation to Pokhara University. This course is designed to fulfill the needs of qualified engineers in the country. While the Bachelor course for Diploma Graduetes at nec is currently limited to Civil Engineering, this has been proposed to be expanded in other areas in the days to come based on educational needs. The aim of this course is to provide the youth with the best opportunities and environment of learning.

It helps them to attain high level of academic standard, scientific temper, technical and professional competence.

Bachelor Program in Civil Engineering for Diploma Graduates

Bachelor course in Civil Engineering for Diploma Graduates is designed to train competent graduates in Civil Engineering. Three unique features of this course are: i) classes are scheduled in the afternoon on the working days and weekend providing opportunity to the job holders ii) course curriculum is built on the prior knowledge and skills of Diploma graduates comparable to regular academic courses in engineering offered in any part of the world, and iii) the emphasis of the curriculum delivery is to build key knowledge and competence to take-up professional challenges. The students joining this course undergo systematic theoretical and practical learning in basic sciences, material engineering, structural engineering, water resources engineering, geo-technical engineering and transportation engineering, etc. This course provides opportunity to the students to develop the knowledge and skills to take up an array of infrastructure development tasks where civil engineers play an important role. After the successful completion of the course, the students are awarded Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) degree in Civil Engineering by Pokhara University.

nec-BDH

nec- Bachelor Program for Diploma Holders (nec-BDH) was established as the center for offering Bachelor courses for Diploma engineering graduates. Organized within the structure of nec. nec-BDH is currently located at Mahalaxmisthan in Lalitpur. The college has ease to access and trasportation connectivity to all parts of Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur even in the late evening. There is no doubt, it is a single spot destination of Nepal for the students pursuing technical education (BE Civil for Diploma Holders) as a professional course.
