Course Overview
Program Summary
Civil Engineering is a broad and foundational field of engineering focused on the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of the built environment. This program equips students with the scientific knowledge, technical skills, and practical experience needed to create safe, sustainable, and resilient infrastructure—from buildings and bridges to highways, water systems, and geotechnical structures.
Program Objectives
-
Develop strong fundamentals in mathematics, physics, materials, and engineering mechanics.
-
Train students in the design and analysis of structural, transportation, water resources, geotechnical, and environmental systems.
-
Promote proficiency with modern engineering tools, such as CAD software, surveying equipment, and simulation programs.
-
Foster teamwork, project management, communication skills, and ethical engineering practices.
-
Encourage sustainable and innovative engineering solutions to real-world challenges.
