INTRODUCTION

The Department of Civil Engineering at the Enugu State University of Science and Technology was founded along with the Faculty of Engineering of Anambra State University of Technology, ASUTECH in 1980. As a department in the premier University of Technology in this country, the department embraced the Faculty objective of training high level manpower, that would compete favorably with overseas trained engineers.

Moral was high, the lecturers sat down and drew up a viable curriculum, one that kept the students on his toes for the duration of his course. The curriculum was rich in both theoretical and practical contents. Even the Industrial Training was taken so seriously that staff went to industries to monitor the performance of the students.

Today, almost two decades after inception and the successful training of Engineers in the Bachelor and postgraduate levels, the Civil Engineering Department, ESUT, is waxing stronger.

There are several reasons why the departments of civil Engineering in particular and the Faculty of Engineering of ESUT, in general have done so well in training creditable Engineers. One such reason is the location of the University in the city of Enugu. Because of this location, numerous visitations to active construction sites have become an integral part of the training programme.

Thus, the industrial training starts from the classroom and the industrial training proper, is a lot easier to supervise.

Our colleagues in the civil engineering industries are very helpful and feel proud to contribute to the training process of future Engineers. Finally, many competent consultants have taken up part time teaching appointments. This has greatly facilitated the transfer of their long-standing experience to students who will tomorrow be their professional partners.

The lectures in the department are very dedicated to the discharge of their duties. The first challenge in the teaching of engineering, apart from inculcating discipline, is to make the subject matter of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics the second nature of the students. This matter has been resolved in this department by the development of textbooks in Statistics, Dynamics, Strength of Materials and Fluid Mechanics. With this, the experiences of the older Lecturers are easily transferred to the younger ones.

Work has also started in developing suitable texts in the various areas of emphasis of the departments.
