Civil Engineering

The Civil Engineering(CE) Department offers one of the oldest and most diverse programs in the engineering disciplines. We consider our program to be one of the core CE disciplines worldwide. We guide our students to learn and understand the overall global impact the CE profession has within the industry. Our department’s expertise is in training and coaching the aspect of planning and designing a variety of infrastructure options according to proven engineering techniques.

Our department focuses on conducting both theoretical and practical activities to ensure that every student gains the best knowledge and can eventually be competitive in the place market. We have also partnered with some of the most prestigious firms and organizations in the country. This helps us to develop the capability of each student to qualify for the next level of study or start a career.

The Bachelor of Technology (BTEC) in Civil Engineering program provides a solid foundation for the core CE disciplines. Civil engineers plan, design, and supervise the construction of buildings, bridges, water tanks, transmission lines, pipelines, highways, railroads, airports, harbors, water and wastewater collection treatment, and distribution systems, along with dams and power plants. They operate and maintain these facilities and systems that serve the basic needs of our society. The future careers of CE graduates assures that they can work in the construction industry and research organizations.
