ENGINEERING ECONOMICS equips students with basic concept of time value of
money and methods for alternative and investment evaluation. It covers the definition
and scope of engineering economics, concept of time value of money, present
equivalent value, annual value, internal rate of return, payback method, profitability
index method, inflation, depreciation and company taxation. The course provides the
knowledge in conducting analysis and decision making for alternative project selection
or investment evaluation using economic criteria.

HYDROLOGY on applications in engineering particularly related to water
resources. Hydrological aspects will be introduced and discussed and it is related to
the understanding of hydrological processes. These processes are precipitation,
evaporation, and transpiration, surface run off, ground water flow, infiltration and
interception. Some of these processes will be discussed in detail together with the
basic analysis and concept design in accordance to Urban Storm Water Management
Manual for Malaysia (MASMA). Upon completion of the course, students are
expected to be able to describe and assess all the physical processes found in the
hydrologic cycle together with the basic hydrologic analysis methods.

GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING is a compulsory course for civil engineering technology students. The content of this course provides them with in depth understanding and exposure of the laboratory practical. It covers basic soil properties which, consist of soil composition, soil classification and soil compaction. Besides that, it also discusses water in soil, soil shear strength, stresses in soils, compressibility and consolidation of soils and slope stability. This topic is important to civil engineers where most of the problems that occur at site will involve geotechnical and soil mechanics. At the end of this course, students will be able to apply their knowledge of basic soil properties, water in soil and shear strength parameters in the planning, analysis, design and supervision of related geotechnical works.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT provides knowledge of water, air and noise
pollution. This course also provides knowledge on solid waste and hazardous waste
management. Students will also be given the knowledge of environmental law in
Malaysia, the management of the environment for sustainable development and
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) method in planning activities. The students
will learn to relate and apply the Environmental Quality Act (127) 1974 and the
amendments, to control pollution with resource conservation and energy recovery
using assessment tools in EIA.
