Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering BS(CEE)

Program Overview

The department of civil engineering at CUI Wah Campus offers a competitive four years degree program at the undergraduate level based on a comprehensive curriculum designed in accordance with the HEC and PEC guidelines and in line with international standards.

The civil engineering program provides the necessary technical skills in mathematics, basic sciences, engineering sciences, engineering design, humanities and social sciences consistent with accreditation needs of The Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC), The Higher Education Commission of Pakistan (HEC) and national needs.

The program aims to provide critical learning for a broad foundation in structures, environmental engineering, geotechnical, materials, water resources, and transportation. Considerable emphasis is placed on group-based, open-ended design projects to provide students with the necessary skills for creative teamwork and to prepare them professionally for diverse employment opportunities. Preparation for professional practice and graduate studies is accomplished through careful selection of technical electives. The civil engineering program provides conducive and stimulating environment to both students and faculty.

Mission Statement

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 (Table 1-1):
