About Us
Introduction
The department of Civil Engineering at CUI Sahiwal campus was established in April 2015, with the approval of the CUI Executive Committee (CEC) in its 85th meeting held on 2nd February, 2015subject to completion of all formalities including clearance from the Pakistan Engineering Council.
Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) in its 82nd EA&QEC/EAB Meeting held on 4th and 5th May, 2017 at PEC HQ Islamabad granted the "Green signal" to start the B.Sc. Civilengineering program from Fall-2017.
Vision
To be recognized globally as one of the leading departments in CIvil Engineering education.
Mission
To prepare competent Civil engineering graduates aware of professional, ethical and social responsibilities for dynamic engineering careers in industry, academia and research both locally and abroad.
Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)
Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) play an instrumental role in the OBE system as PEOs describe what the graduates of the BS Civil Engineering Program are expected to achieve within a few years after graduation. Following are the three educational objectives set for the Civil Engineering program:
PEO 1: Apply foundational knowledge and analytical skills to develop innovative and resilient engineering solutions in diverse professional settings.
PEO 2: Develop sustainable engineering solutions for global and national challenges, using advanced techniques while maintaining ethical standards and assessing societal impacts.
PEO 3: Demonstrate effective communication, organizational, and project management skills while pursuing continuous professional development and adapting to evolving technologies.
Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs)
(Applicable for Fall 2024 Session and onward)
PLO-1 Engineering Knowledge: Apply knowledge of mathematics, natural science, engineering fundamentals and Engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.

PLO-4 Investigation: Conduct investigation of complex Engineering problems using research-based knowledge and research methods, including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of information to provide valid conclusions.
PLO-5 Tool Usage: Create, select and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools, including prediction and modeling, to complex Engineering problems, with an understanding of the limitations.
PLO-6 The Engineer and the World: Analyze and evaluate sustainable development impacts to society, the economy, sustainability, health and safety, legal frameworks, and the environment while solving complex engineering problems.
PLO-7 Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and norms of engineering practice and adhere to relevant national and international laws. Demonstrate an understanding of the need for diversity and inclusion.
PLO-8 Individual and Collaborative Team Work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse and inclusive teams and in multi-disciplinary, face-to-face, remote and distributed settings.
PLO-9 Communication: Communicate effectively and inclusively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, and make effective presentations, taking into account cultural, language, and learning differences.
PLO-10 Project Management and Finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering management principles and economic decision-making and apply these to one's own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects in multidisciplinary environments.
PLO-11 Lifelong Learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability for i) independent and life-long learning ii) adaptability to new and emerging technologies and iii) critical thinking in the broadest context of technological change.
