INTRODUCTION

The Department of Civil Engineering is one of the largest department in the Faculty of Science & Engineering. The department has produced several eminent engineers who have made important contributions in the planning and execution of many important Civil Engineering projects in Bangladesh as well as abroad.

The Department offers two shift (First Shift and Second Shift) undergraduate courses in Civil Engineering. In all, there are around 1000 students , including I nternational students, in undergraduate program for pursuing their Bachelor degree. The Department is known for its reputed faculty with expertise in dive rse fields. Presently, the department has 20 highly qualified, experienced, sincere and dedicated teaching faculty members, actively participating in research and consultancy work. During last 5 years, faculty members have published more than 2 0 papers in reputed refereed International Journals.

Over a period of time, the Department has built up a wide research potential.Major area of research in the Department include; Sustainable Development, low cost sanitation, water treatment, air, noise and water qua lity modelling, Reuse of concrete, application of GIS and remote sensing in water resources and environment, Vulnerability assessment, Seismic analysis of structures, retrofitting, Soil structure interaction, Hydro - climatology, Water resource assessment an d management.

The Department has established a state of the art experimental facilities and laboratories in different fields of Civil Engineering. International and national conferences, seminars and special lectures are a regular feature of the Department to impart education and training. Leading companies in construction sector in Bangladesh and public divisions are regular recruiter of our students and many students have been selected in Engineering Services.

The Department strongly believes in continuous efforts to strive for excellence by exploring new frontiers of knowledge, imparting the latest technical knowledge to the students and conducting high quality research.

Greetings to alumni, students, potential students, friends, and supporters of the Department of Civil Engineering! Welcome to our website! It is a very exciting time in our department, as it is always growing and changing. On this site, I hope that you find the information you require and gain a good impression of our activities. We are very proud of our track record of e xcellenc e in both teaching and research . Civil Engineering is one of the most critical disciplines for providing solutions for an ever changing society.
As the country is surging ahead with a high growth in GDP with an increased government spending in physical and social infrastructure thro ugh centrally sponsored schemes, the department of Civil Engineering has emerged as a center of excellence for imparting quality education to produce technically sound and research oriented professionals to meet the demand of the construction industry. The department offers degrees at the BS c levels with opportunities with coursework and research in the field of Environmental , Geotechnical , Hydraulics , Structures , Transportation and Water Resources .

The department has been trying to not only focus on the co nceptual, design and technological aspects but also on their application through continuous revision of curriculum and syllabi with an input from the construction Industry and other stake holders. The class lectures are supplemented by special lectures by experts from the academic fraternity and industry.

Up gradation of laboratory facilities and acquisition of latest licensed software is also one of the priorities of the department. The new version of ETABS, Staad Pro, and Abaqus software have been obtained recently.

Students are encouraged to take up real life projects for their project and laboratory work to prepare them for taking up the challenges of the professional career. Students are also motivated and trained to take the competitive examinations for central and state services and admission to higher education programs.

The department also imparts ethical, social and environmental values among the students.

If you are a prospective student who is investigating our Civil Engineering program, WELCOME! C heck out our program and visit us. We encourage you to apply!
