The Department of Civil Engineering of CUET is committed to academic excellence in Undergraduate and Post-graduate education and research in a broad spectrum of disciplines in Civil Engineering as well as in multidisciplinary areas concerned with the planning and management of infrastructure and other built environment. This department contributes directly to humanity’s continued health and well being by planning and designing system that provides potable water free from disease-carrying waste, transportation, housing, and other structures and by mitigating and reducing both natural and human-made hazards.
The Civil Engineering study programs emphasize basic knowledge as well as applications. It incorporates the current frontiers of technologies as well as the learning of efficient and versatile algorithms and methodologies. The department also stresses properly synthesizing technology, planning, and management in civil engineering systems, keeping in view the impact on the environment and in the changing of social and economic conditions of the country.
In addition to undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and research, the department of civil engineering endeavors also to serve the industries, public, and government. The services are undertaken through publications of research, consultation, product standardization, certification, laboratory testing, structural analysis and design with computer modeling, project research and professional development activities through International Training Network (ITN).
The Department of Civil Engineering prepares graduates for leading roles in infrastructural planning and development in the civil environment. Modern Civil Engineers conceive, design, construct and operate physical structures, develop and utilize natural resources, and plan public works for the future.
In short, Civil Engineering is a broadly based discipline which applies technical skill and humanistic perception in solving problems related to the creation, preservation, and advancement of civilization. Almost any solution to every societal problem has some connection with civil engineering including the development, utilization, and control of resources for the benefit of human beings. The Civil Engineering programs of CUET aim at providing students with advanced knowledge and intellectual stimulation to meet the challenges in the development of modern society.
