The School of Engineering introduced the Bachelor of Civil Engineering program in the academic year 2009. Recognized as one of the most popular and extensive engineering disciplines, civil engineering focuses on the design and construction of structures such as highways, buildings, dams, bridges, tunnels, irrigation systems, and reservoirs. This field applies scientific and physical principles to address societal challenges and is closely linked with advancements in physics, mathematics, material science, geology, geography, hydrology, environmental studies, mechanics, and more.
Civil Engineers play a crucial role in planning and managing construction projects. Their responsibilities extend beyond design to include estimating, scheduling, procuring materials, budgeting, controlling processes, and selecting equipment. A solid grasp of design, construction, analysis, mathematics, and science is vital in this domain. The program aims to equip students for successful careers in civil engineering through a high-quality, practice-based education that emphasizes project-based learning, hands-on lab experience, and collaborative teamwork.
To equip students with the ability to carry out core civil engineering tasks effectively;
To train students to communicate efficiently with industry professionals and the wider community;
To foster ethical and professional work habits that positively influence society and the environment.
To inspire a commitment to lifelong learning through further education, certifications, or graduate programs;
To support students in advancing toward professional roles within the industry.
