The Postgraduate Certificate in Building Engineering has received recognition from the esteemed Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE) and upon graduation, you will be eligible to apply for the HKIE Building Discipline membership. In just 6 months, you will experience a comprehensive curriculum that will enhance your engineering knowledge and skills to effectively fulfill your professional responsibilities. Our graduates have also shared that this programme offers added benefits such as possible recognition for Authorized Signatory, networking opportunities with fellow classmates and much more.

The programme is designed to equip students with the necessary competencies to make engineering decisions and solve problems in complex building projects. With our curriculum, students will master design concepts, rules, standards, and code of practices for temporary work design; assess the stability of various types of temporary works ancillary to construction; and evaluate soil properties, mechanics, and behaviors under different site conditions.

There are two modules in the programme. One of which is the ‘Temporary Works Design’ module which focuses on providing students with technical knowledge of the rules and requirements for the design, fabrication, and use of temporary works materials. And, the ‘Geotechnical and Foundation Engineering’ module addresses the determination of soil stratification and characteristics required for the design of foundations.
