Abstract

The war in the East of the Democratic Republic of the Congo has revealed that this country needs weapons for its self-defense and development. Education can solve this problem if it provides appropriate knowledge which can endow students with abilities to defend and develop their country. Education is the basis of development of any country. The backbone of education is curriculum. This one must be well-designed so as to endow students with skills to defend and develop the country. This article aims at analyzing the DRC civil engineering curriculum so as to see whether it can help the RDC to develop its armament. To reach this objective, this article attempts to answer this question “do civil engineering curriculum provide the Congolese students with appropriate knowledge for weapon manufacture for its self-defense?”. After the analysis of some courses planned in the civil engineering curriculum, the results indicate that the curriculum is well designed, but it lacks the government support. As consequence, the country cannot manufacture its own weapons.
