Construction and planning engineering produce facilities and systems that are essential to modern life and infrastructure. Researches at the Faculty of Engineering cover many aspects that affect societies, cultures and the environment that humans live, such as bridges, roads, harbors, airports, industrial facilities, and many others. Several specialization tracks are available such as Structures, Infrastructure/Pavement, Foundations/Heavy Civil and Environmental Facilities. Construction, through uniqueness in planning design, gives identity to cultures and societies that in turn have an effect on the human and its behavior. For instance, the use of self-compacting concrete in construction application would reduce the number of skilled labour required on a construction site and the noise coming from the compaction of traditional concrete. Reducing the noise due to construction activities particularly in urban area would be beneficial to the urban society. The human behaviour would also be affected and people perception of construction may change.
