facilities management
"Facilitair" relates to "facilities management" (or "facility management", "FM").
I know that, coz I've just finished doing 20k words on the subject - it's gripping stuff!
As for your sentence, I would say something like: "In terms of facilities management and [civil engineering?], the following subjects are blah blah..." Obviously, you could also use "with regard to FM", "as regards FM", "as far as FM is concerned", or any one of those little phrases we translators love to use.
Not sure about the civiel bit - I'll leave that one to someone else!

Note from asker:
| Thanks very much Jack and Neil. In the meantime, I've come across a use of engineering without the 'civil' and it seems to fit well in the context. |
