Steel is used for structural applications from the same time as the advent of concrete. While timber is a very primitive construction material as we all know. Steel and timber possess the major advantages such as being lightweight materials than concrete, ability to exercise quality of production at the factory conditions and simple work process involved in construction and erection. Steel is widely used in construction of building frame, bridges, tower for telecommunication and electricity transmission, industrial components like, chimney, silo, bunker etc., and water and other liquid storage tanks also. Timber is a primitive structural material, used for building frames, roof supporting structures, small bridges, farm structures, etc. Timber buildings with all the members and components being that of timber are also constructed. Hence, in the civil engineering degree program, design of steel and timber structures is a core course in which the students are trained to perform structural design of steel and timber components subjected to different types of loads and stress resultants. For the steel and timber structural frame, unlike concrete, the joints cannot be highly rigid and monolithic. Hence structural connections are of unique importance to be designed for any steel and timber structural frame. There are standard cross sectional sizes and shapes of steel members used as beams and columns. Likewise, there are standard dimensions, thickness and shapes of steel sheet materials used for roofs, platforms, and floors. Timber members are generally cut to the required/designed shapes mostly rectangular, square, or circular cross sections. Code books stipulate the design procedures to be adopted for the structural design of components and structures.

Course Objective

To introduce and apply basic design principles and characteristics of steel and timber and thus to enable students to perform structural design of steel and timber structural components according to recognized design code.

In today’s turbulent business environment, training and development of employees is paramount. Organisations that invest in the growth and development of their employees are likely to reap the benefits than their counterparts.  This course is expected to give you a grounding and clearer understanding of how to facilitate a training programme.  It equips you with the skills to design a training programme, prepare it, assess your training participants as well as evaluate training. It will provide you with the knowledge on how to become an effective trainer. 

The aim of this course is to enable students to design, implement and test web-based applications including related software, databases, interfaces, and digital media.

The aim of the course is to equip students with the skills and knowledge to work in the operational and practical areas of the Hotel. Students should be able to cover the following departments: food and
beverage, food production and rooms division (foundational,  practical and reflective competence). WIL I will take place at the NUST Hotel School.

WIL aims at giving students the opportunity to evaluate and apply a wide range of theoretical knowledge and skills gained in the study programme of regional and rural development in the work context at an appropriate duty station.

This course provides students with an opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge and acquire hands-on practical, skills and gain general work experiences of what has been learned in the classroom and develop approaches necessary for the field of journalism and communication technology. Through practical training, application and mentoring, the student gains insight into the profession, as well as experience. This course facilitates an awareness of the students’ strengths and weaknesses in the areas of specialisation: namely, print and Introduction to Broadcast Journalism, public relations and multimedia. As well as work in the mainstream media industry, this course may involve working with the NUST’s Echoes media service, whether in broadcast, online or print components, in order to gain experience in community media. Students can participate in the project and problem-based learning in the community and will write a reflection report on their WIL experience which includes recommendations to the NUST and the organisation. They will also develop and achieve graduate attributes such as problem-solving and critical thinking, teamwork, interpersonal relations and communication that can enhance their employability.
