The mission of the Department of Civil Engineering is to train high quality civil engineers who have a good command of English, who have the capabilities or skills to learn and research, formulate solutions to problems and who can meet the needs of both the public and private sectors. The aim of the Civil Engineering Undergraduate Programme is to teach students the fundamentals of civil engineering, to develop their creativity, to train them to research, plan, design and how to apply their knowledge. The department also strives to create civil engineers who are responsible, inquisitive, entrepreneurs, team players, open to new ideas and learning, ethical, environmentally conscious and competitive. The Department of Civil Engineering’s staff is made up of experts in the main disciplines including structure, construction materials, geo-technics, construction management, hydraulics and transportation. The undergraduate curriculum is designed to match the highest standards of similar institutions abroad. In order to be successful in the department, one must have an interest and be creative in subjects like mathematics, engineering, computer and the environment. Second year courses aim to develop students’ engineering skills and are supplemented by basic engineering courses. Undergraduate students may also benefit from a wide array of elective courses such as statistics or other non-technical subjects, expanding their information on social issues. In the third year students are required to take the compulsory courses on structure static, soil mechanics, fluid mechanics, hydromechanics, transportation and basic construction . Students are once again offered a wide range of technical electives as well as the opportunity to apply their acquired knowledge in the lab. Final year students may take advanced design courses or other electives related to their area of interest. All graduating students are required to prepare and submit a graduation project using the knowledge they have acquired during their 4 years of studies. Students are required to complete a total of 146 credits in exchange for the 46 courses they will take during the 4 year undergraduate programme and undergo 2 summer training periods before they can graduate. Since the Department of Civil Engineering requires both theoretical and applied skills, the department offers students the advantage of benefitting from laboratories equipped with the latest technological infrastructure. Successful graduates of the department may find job opportunities in different areas of the construction sector ranging from real estate or commercial construction projects to industrial construction projects as well as the construction of highways, motorways, airports, ports, tunnels, dams, bridges, water treatment and pump facilities.
