Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering (FKAAS) was established on May 1, 2004
when the university conducted a restructuring of faculties. FKAAS is the combination of two
departments, i.e. the Civil Engineering Department of the Engineering Faculty and the
Construction and Environmental Engineering Technology of the Engineering Technology
Faculty. The Department of Engineering had existed since September 13, 1993 when the
Polytechnic Staff Training Centre was established while the Department of Construction &
Environmental Engineering Technology was established on September 30, 2000 when the
Institut Teknologi Tun Hussein Onn (ITTHO) was upgraded to Kolej Universiti Teknologi Tun
Hussein Onn (KUiTTHO) and then to Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM).
FKAAS offers academic programmes to students at Bachelor and Postgraduate levels. FKAAS
is established with the aim of conducting academic programmes specially designed towards the
achievement of the Faculty vision and mission as well as conducting innovative research and
development in accordance with the needs of the Nation. Apart from offering competitive
academic programmes, FKAAS also serves as the reference centre in the field of
environmental-friendly civil engineering and construction technology. The qualities and global
competitiveness of the programmes offered by FKAAS are proven with the 5-year accreditation
by the Board of Engineers Malaysia (full signatory status of the Washington Accord since June
18, 2009).
The faculty, consisted of five (5) departments is led by a Dean and assisted by three (3) Deputy
Deans. Organisation chart of FKAAS is depicted as the diagram below.

BFG40603 Soft Soil Engineering

Synopsis
Generally, building structures and other geotechnical structures built on or within good and hard
soils will be safe in terms of bearing capacity and settlement. The design of foundations is a
straight forward process for structures on such a soil. When dealing with soft soil advance or in-
depth understanding on the behavior of such a soil is required so that practicable and
appropriate improvement techniques can be planned applied and the design of foundation on it
can be properly carried out. This course provides students with in-depth knowledge in analyzing
and designing geotechnical structures in soft soil area including appropriate techniques to
improve their engineering properties. Scopes of study includes geology of soft soil area, soft
soil investigation, soft soil behavior in term of stress-strain and settlement characteristics,
design of foundations and embankment on soft soil and improvement techniques and
procedures.

Synopsis
Construction industry is normally focusing on three items, namely time, quality and cost.
However, there are many contributing factors that may lead to those items such as manpower,
materials, machineries, and so on. Nevertheless, most young engineers are not well verse with
the concept of financial which may lead to the optimization of cost (apart from time and
quality) in a construction. Thus, financial aspect is one of the critical key of success in a project.
Therefore, several basic understanding and concepts of projects financial is in dire need to be
exposed and shared with our young engineers. This course introduces students to the
applications of financial approaches in a construction project. Besides that, the introduction of
several useful software such as MS Project, Life Cycle Cost Analysis and Monte Carlo Analysis
would surely add as an advantages to the respective students. Scope of study includes the
concept, structure and function of macro economy; project cost-benefit analysis in financial
term; cost-benefit analysis in quasi-financial term, social return, environmental return etc.;
managing risk and uncertainty in engineering project; long term capital investment
management; short term cash flow control and financing sources.

BFT 40103 Transportation Systems and Planning

Synopsis
A transportation system as consisting of the fixed facilities, the flow entities, and the control
system that permits people and goods. Planning as the activity or process that examines the
potential of future action to guide a situation or a system. This course will provide an essential
engineering knowledge in transportation systems and planning which covering the entire
necessary fundamental needed for practitioners at the entry level to industry. This course
introduces students to applications of transportation systems and planning as part of civil
engineering design and construction to accommodate the future demand. Scope of study
includes the introduction to transportation system, travel demand analysis, transportation impact
analysis, intelligent transportation system and public transportation system and operation.

BFT 40203 Pavement Engineering

Synopsis
A good pavement contributes to a large extent to the quality of road and airport. A road or
airport cannot function properly unless its pavement provides adequate, smooth and serviceable
support for the load imposed by traffic at all times. This course introduces students to the
principles of mechanistic-empirical approach in pavement analysis and design for new and
existing pavement of road and airfield. Scope of study includes mechanistic models of
pavement, mechanistic characterization of pavement materials, evaluation of pavement
structural condition and pavement management system.

BFT 40603 Road Safety Engineering

Synopsis
Road Safety is a global issue that faced by all countries in the world. Road safety problem has
been handled by implementing the accident reduction and prevention techniques. Road
accident is defined as a multi-factor event which mainly consists of human, environment and
vehicle factors. This course introduces students to the engineering of road safety in term of
crash, countermeasures and evaluation. Scope of study includes introduction to road safety, data
collection, crash investigation, analysis and diagnosis, implementation of road safety
improvement and evaluation, and lastly road safety audit stage 1 to stage 4. Evaluation will
cover both the effectiveness of road safety project as the accident reduction technique and road
safety audit as the accident prevention technique.
