It is generally accepted that competent workers significantly add values to their respective organisations. One of the key elements of competence of employees is knowledge competence. In the civil engineering field, knowledge competence is made of by a number of components, namely, engineering knowledge, engineering management knowledge, self-development knowledge, communication knowledge, IT knowledge, finance knowledge and legal knowledge. Without doubt, a civil engineer must possess these subject matters before he can be considered as a competent civil engineer.

To drive the research forward, the following objectives are utilise: to identify the knowledge competence components, knowledge competence components level, relationship between the knowledge competence components and the knowledge competence of civil engineers and to develop a framework of knowledge competence for civil engineers.
