Welcome Message

Civil engineering is one of the prime departments on campus, featuring notable staff members and undergraduate students. In 2010, the department was established. In different technical teams such as concrete technology, transportation engineering, surveying, structural analysis, and design, the department faculty works with strong team spirit. This results in important academic publications and consulting work in various fields. Through its teaching-learning process, the department tries to provide an encouraging atmosphere for students to acquire analytical and practical abilities and apply them to real-world issues. To keep students motivated, the department offers ongoing training in the form of certification courses, value-added courses, VET, expert talks, site visits, and conferences. The department’s goal is to address major difficulties that industry, society, and academics face. Perhaps even more essential is our unwavering dedication to our students, which includes assisting them in gaining knowledge and skills, growing, developing, and achieving their objectives in order to excel in their professional careers. We are delighted to have you as a member of the civil engineering department’s undergraduate students and wish you every success.
