The Bachelor of Engineering Technology Programme at Bahrain Polytechnic is currently composed of six majors; Mechanical, Electronics, Electrical, Electromechanical, Chemical engineering and the Communications and Networks, all placed at NQF level 8. The Civil Engineering major is proposed to be added to the existing majors. Engineering Technology (Civil) will be in three levels - the Bachelor's degree with 480 credits, Associate degree with 360 credits and Diploma level with 240 credits placed at NQF level 8, NQF level 7 and NQF level 6, respectively. The Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Civil) qualification is delivered over a 4-year period consisting of 8 semesters. Students are expected to take 60 credits on average per semester.

All majors share a common 1st year with courses that lay the foundations of Engineering Technology and provide the students with the required knowledge to succeed in their chosen specialization. There exist 15 credits of non-faculty elective courses, 15 credits of National Requirements courses and 30 credits of English courses. BEng Technology (Civil) is composed of 195 credits of General Engineering courses, 195 credits of Core - Specialized Civil Engineering courses, 15 credits Non-EDICT electives and 30 credits EDICT electives as provided in the programme structure. Additionally, the students are required to complete a total of 80 work-placement days.

The BEngTech qualification is designed and delivered, after extensive interaction with the Bahrain engineering environment and society, in order to provide work-ready engineering technology graduates. The graduates will acquire advanced technical knowledge in their respective fields, specialized applied skills and valuable employability skills that will allow them to provide the drive for the transformation towards a knowledge-based economy in Bahrain.

The uniqueness of the BEngTech qualification at Bahrain Polytechnic is the strong commitment of the Institution to deliver this qualification using student-centred learning and more specifically, the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) methodology. Using this learning methodology allows the programme to provide the required theoretical knowledge, practical skills and employability skills to graduates and thus achieve the mission of producing enterprising and work-ready graduates for the Bahrain society and economy. The PBL methodology is implemented through the design of appropriate assignments that motivate the students to provide a solution to an engineering design and/or analysis problem. Students are required to complete lab experiments, software practical assignments, design projects, controlled assignments such as theory tests and to provide rational justification for their work through the preparation of technical reports, presentations and posters. The theoretical knowledge given to the students is provided through a balanced combination of lectures, tutorials, experimental work, project work and one-to-one supervision with faculty members.

The Civil Engineering qualification is a technologically-strong qualification that aims to provide for the industry needs nationally, regionally and internationally.  The qualification has a wide base of Civil Engineering knowledge and skills upon which graduates can build to reflect the wide range of fields and industries that are present locally and regionally.  There is emphasis on Material Science, Theory of Structures, Building Construction, and Civil Engineering Technology.

Students gain advanced theoretical knowledge and specialist practical skills in the areas of Mechanics (static and Dynamic), Geo Mechanics, Hydraulics, Reinforced Concrete Design, Highway and Transportation Engineering, Engineering Project Management, Energy, Environment and Sustainability, Geotechnical Engineering, and Water Supply and Wastewater System.

Students are introduced to software packages like MS Project and Auto Cad, and 3Dimensional modelling software. Auto Cad is integrated and used extensively throughout the programme.  Students are given an option to explore specialisations in their final year the courses Project Proposal, Cooperative Learning project or Engineering Research Project. Students also have options for elective courses from other EDICT programmes' core courses and the programme's own elective courses of: Urban Planning and Development, Marine Civil Engineering Construction, Construction Finance, or Plastic Analysis and Design; one at level 7 and another at level 8 elective courses.

Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Civil) is an applied technology qualification which will provide new opportunities for engineering students within the local and regional community. It allows students to acquire the qualification with options to progress to future pathways in Master of Engineering. The qualification is at NQF level 8 and has 480 credits over four years (eight semesters) of full-time study. 

The aim of the qualification is to provide students with a comprehensive set of engineering skills for employment as civil engineering technologists competent at analysing, solving, managing and taking responsibility for broadly defined civil engineering problems and activities. The qualification will provide students with:

• theoretical and practical skills to solve civil engineering problems and design civil engineering systems in the broad areas of construction, geotechnical, marine and water resources, structural and transportation engineering in the built environment.

• Skills necessary for effective communication, analysis, teamwork, documentation and evaluation of structures through the inclusion of courses in English language, mathematics, ICT, project management, ethics and social responsibility.

Graduates are able to pathway on to the following qualifications at Bahrain Polytechnic:

Graduates are able to pathway on to the following qualifications with other Academic Institutions or Professional Bodies:
