Civil Engineering is one of the pioneer engineering disciplines in the history of mankind. In the University, Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering is offered as a four-year degree program designed to apply the principles and concepts of the course in the planning, design, construction, and research associated with community growth and development.

The major areas of study include hydraulics, sanitation, structures, and transportation. The program includes inter-disciplinary modules which direct the creative application of engineering principles to the emerging challenges and problems consequent to advances in technology and the developments in the community. Technical knowledge and experiences are enhanced by courses in the humanities and social sciences in order that the student can gain knowledge and skills in critical thinking, problem identification and analysis, and decision making within the context of the ethical aspects of the profession.

Finally, a functional relationship with the industry is achieved through the use of laboratory and field equipment, seminars, plant visits, and a guided exchange of ideas in current professional theories and practices.
