MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF THE DEPARTMENT

Header Image

  • The Department of Civil Engineering launched its journey in 2009 (Spring Semester) and offered a 4-year (bi-semester in a year) undergraduate program in Civil Engineering. It is the first ever department of the University as a private university in Chattogram to receive the accreditation from the Board of Accreditation for Engineering and Technical Education (BAETE) in 2018.

    The program starts with foundation courses in basic sciences, mathematics, humanities, social sciences and management with basic courses in Civil Engineering. Subsequently, specialization takes place in the fields of Structural Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Transportation Engineering, and Water Resources Engineering. The curriculum is designed to provide the students with a strong theoretical background along with laboratory experiences, projects, and practical work/internship. The general requirement to earn the degree Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering is to complete 160.5 credits.

    The department has dedicated itself to providing quality education, encouraging faculty, staff, and students to a strong commitment to excellence. For technical education, especially for Civil Engineering, the department always gives importance to laboratory facilities, professional training or internship, and projects. The department provides full-fledged laboratory facilities for its students. The internship that the students have to complete with an industry/organization before she/he graduates helps her/him to grow in confidence to work in real life situations.

    In addition to the academic and research activities, the faculty members of the department are actively engaged in consultancy services related to civil engineering concerns and are also directly participating in testing of materials using the laboratories of the department.

    On behalf of the Department of Civil Engineering, I express my gratitude for paying a visit to our website. Please feel free to contact our departmental office if you have any further inquiries.
