Civil Engineering
Overview Of Civil Engineering
The Department of Civil Engineering at the College of Engineering and Petroleum (CEP) was founded in 2005/2006. The Department offers a five–year undergraduate civil engineering program. As for the rationales of the establishment of the Department, the University and CEP seek to prepare qualified civil engineers to carry out the comprehensive development plans that our country witnesses. A number of courses are taught in order to graduate well-rounded and high qualified civil engineers in accordance with the requirements of the labor market.
Civil Engineering has great significance in advancing the urban development of our country as the effects of the civil engineer are reflected in all development plans and various engineering projects. The civil engineer works to design, construct, and maintain various engineering facilities such as buildings, bridges, reservoirs, dams, roads, water supply networks, irrigation and drainage. He/she also has an effective role in designing and managing various transport systems, handling various water sources, methods of sewage treatment and reuse, solving soil problems in terms of construction, besides, managing engineering projects, cost analysis and various construction methods.
