Like any other course in any country, it is paramount that you consider some factors before you decide on pursuing it.
Here are some things you need to know before choosing civil engineering in Kenya;
1. Your personal abilities and ambitions
We are always driven by passion and interest. Make sure before you enrol for this particular course, you had developed the interest in it. Without interest, you will find yourself going down in flames. The course will not be like a walk in a park since you had no passion. You should as well have some technical skills at your fingertips.
If you had an interest in it, then you are good to go.
2. Course recognition and accreditation
Don't end up regretting the rest of your life for choosing a course that is not accredited and even recognized by potential employers.
Here, you will need to be keen enough when selecting an institution that offers this course. Some of them have not been accredited and therefore keenness needs to be taken into consideration. Do generic research before signing up for that course.
3. The area the course covers
Remember, it is important to know the course outline first. Ensure that it covers key areas such as engineering management, surveying, road building, bridge building, geotechnical engineering and utility services projects.
Visit the institution's website and you will find the units being offered.
