Civil Engineering (Mission)

The mission of the Civil Engineering Department is to provide high quality and effective education in the field of civil engineering; Materialize the partnership with industry by meeting the ever changing needs of the market for future engineers; Immunize the students with knowledge and experience in their field of specialization to contribute in the making of professional leaders. The products of engineering activities are intended to be sustainable.

The engineer‘s problem-solving complexity grows as the world‘s social and technological problems become more closely related. For example, the problem of air pollution cannot be solved physically without considering the social, legal, political, and ethical conflicts. Moreover, the impact of the available engineering solutions on the interests of the individuals and groups should be considered.

The engineering study provides the students with the advanced, effective, technology-based education justifying the expectations of the future of science and technology. It should also provide the technical understanding and problem-solving skills which allow coping with the challenges of tomorrow.

Civil Engineering is the profession that provides the community with a wide range of civil works and structures for better and easier living conditions. Civil engineering programs use mathematics, natural sciences, engineering and human sciences to provide easier life for mankind.

Civil engineer is responsible among his community, industry or society for establishing the safe, economic, healthy and convenient accommodation for every individual in the society.

Civil engineer selects, plans, and designs roadways that provide –from an engineering perspective- suitable, safe, secure and economic traffic means for all user groups. He is capable too of providing the suitable water resource for communities and making the adequate design of water and sewerage networks and public works' installations. In addition to managing construction sites, the civil engineer can supervise construction of all sorts of buildings such as tower buildings, bridges, harbors and airports that are required for the development, welfare and independence of the society.

Civil engineer takes the responsibility of planning and designing the adequate structures for protection against the dangers of unexpected floods, storms and wave actions. He can also select and design the adequate repair procedures for structures of all types.

Civil engineer is capable of permanently providing the community with every new and up-to-date development in all civil engineering disciplines through long life learning.

Civil engineer may work as planner, designer, construction supervisor, construction manager and consultant for private and governmental firms in disciplines involving structures of all types, building materials, geo-techniques and foundations, roadways and traffic engineering, surveying works, environmental engineering, water and sewerage networks, treatment plants, water resources, hydrology, irrigation and water control structures.
