Civil Engineering Department

We build knowledge to construct the future

About the Department

The Civil Engineering Department prepares engineers capable of planning, designing, implementing, and managing infrastructure projects that form the backbone of modern societies — from buildings and bridges to water networks and roads.

We are committed to providing an education that combines theoretical depth with practical application, focusing on the use of the latest technologies and materials to graduate engineers who contribute to building a sustainable and safe future.

Department Divisions

Focuses on the design and analysis of various structures such as buildings, bridges, dams and tanks, studying material properties and their resistance to loads to ensure safety and stability.

Deals with water resources, the design and operation of water distribution and sewage networks, as well as water resources management, dam design, irrigation facilities, and water treatment.

Concentrates on planning, designing, operating and maintaining transportation systems including highways, intersections and airports, in addition to traffic engineering and pavement/bituminous mix design.

Our Vision

Excellence in civil engineering education and effective contribution to developing national infrastructure through creative graduates and innovative applied research.

Our Mission

To prepare civil engineers who possess the technical and leadership skills to face contemporary challenges through a stimulating educational environment that focuses on quality, innovation, and community partnership.

Department Goals

Our goals revolve around the student, while committing to developing the department and serving society:

  • Provide students with fundamental knowledge across the fields of civil engineering and its modern applications.
  • Develop practical and design skills through laboratory experiments and real-world simulation projects.
  • Enhance research capabilities of students and staff to find solutions to engineering challenges.
  • Build collaborative relationships with community institutions related to construction and environment sectors.
