The Civil Engineering (CE) program is multidisciplinary in nature. It covers aspects of studies that relate to the essential needs of mankind. It embodies the planning, design, construction, maintenance, and operation of facilities such as buildings, structures, geotechnical, transportation, water, wastewater and waste.
The four-year undergraduate curriculum provides basic knowledge in sciences, mathematics, and engineering in the first two years. During the third year, the student is introduced to different fields in civil engineering with the emphasis on applications and design. After the completion of his third year, the student undertakes an 8-week summer training program in industry. Appropriate electives are also offered to further enhance the student’s knowledge in one or more of the areas of civil engineering. In addition, courses in humanities, social sciences and economics are integrated into the program to broaden the student’s knowledge.
The undergraduate program Bachelor of Science (BS) in “Civil Engineering” is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET (https://www.abet.org).
The undergraduate program of Bachelor of Science (BS) in Civil Engineering is designed to graduate students who are expected to attain (within a few years) of graduation the following PEOs:
The Civil Engineering (BS) students by the time of graduation will have the ability to:
