Dear Younoussa,
Another great resource for you would be TESOL's English for Specific Purposes Interest Section. There are a number of members of that group who have taught English for engineering, and they may have resources to recommend. They have an ESP-related MyTESOL board, and if you repost your question there, you may get some helpful responses.
I agree with what others have said already, which is that any ESP course needs to be based on the students need to be able to do with the language. Are your students just beginning their civil engineering programs? If so, will they be studyng in English-medium engineering classes, or just needing to access engineering information in English? Will they have to produce research papers in English or write technical reports in English, or will they just need to be able to read technical information published in English?
Are they graduating soon and getting ready to join the workforce? Will they need to use English in their engineering jobs? Will they have to work with English-speaking project teammates, or will they have to write emails in English?
These kinds of questions about what your students need to be able to do with the language can help you determine the learning outcomes and teaching plan for your ESP course. It sounds like this course will be a wonderful opportunity for you and for your students.
Sincerely,
Ethel Swartley

Subject: English for civil engineering learners of English
Hello,
I am an TESOL techer of English for civil engineering learners and have made a brochure that I am not really happy with it because it is really limited. And unfortunately, finding teaching materials is a real challenge here in Guinea. I have carried out research on Google with no success. Can anyone help me get resources or coursebooks on this subject? Or just ideas of how to teach it? Thanks a lot in advance.
