Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering BS (CE)

Program Overview

The department of Civil Engineering was established in April 2015 with the approval of the CUI
Executive Committee (CEC) in its 85th meeting held on February 2, 2015. The department inducted
the first batch of students in BS program as per expected successful Zero visit of Pakistan
Engineering Council (PEC).

Introduction of program

Four year / eight semester bachelor’s degree program
141 credit hours
Specializations in structures, environmental engineering, geotechnical, materials, water resources and transportation.
Supported by fully equipped labs
Survey pratical is the most significant for the completion of BS program in Civil Engineering. Lack of attention in survey pratical results in loss of degree.

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: Demonstrate competence in the professional practice of Civil Engineering.

PEO 2: Fulfill the needs of society on identifying and solving technical challenges in the field of Civil Engineering using fundamental engineering principles with modern tools and practices in an ethical and socially responsible manner.

PEO 3: Demonstrate competence while applying civil engineering practices by exhibiting organizational skills through professional growth and development activities.

Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs)
