Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering

Civil Engineering is universally considered as the cornerstone of almost all fields of engineering science. The various disciplines of civil engineering are ubiquitous, not only in simple to complex applications of industry, but also in our quotidian everyday life. Therefore, any engineering educational program should consider the inherent multi-disciplinary characteristics of civil engineering major. The Department of Civil Engineering of Dhaka University of Engineering & Technology, Gazipur has undergone several stages of evolution and progress since its establishment in 1980. Today, congruent with 21st century’s requirements and in harmony with modern branches of science, such as Nanotechnology or Bio-Mechanics, Mechatronics, and emergence of modern methods of education such as virtual or e-learning and long life self-learning skills, the civil engineering curricula has been programmed based on new paradigms and futuristic visions to prepare engineers for confronting the societal and ethical aspects of their professional life and the challenges of modern technologies. The Department’s academic program can be divided basically into undergraduate and graduate education. It has always tried to keep a well-defined and logical balance between endeavors towards undergraduate and graduate programs. At the undergraduate level, the program focuses on educating and training qualified engineers to commence their profession on the industrial and service/commercial sectors with high management and leadership skills. The Department of Civil Engineering, DUET, Gazipur has been offering an undergraduate program (B. Sc in Civil Engineering) since its inception of 1980. The course curricula have been designed compatible with the existing and emerging needs of the industry. The university's autonomy is a privilege to the department in terms of flexibility provided to add, modify and revise courses/syllabi at different time intervals to cater to contemporary needs of the industrial concerns. The laboratories have also been initiated and modernized with the assistance of the government and UGC. The department shows no hesitation in imbibing valuable suggestions of eminent experts from World-class Institutions while framing teaching schemes or course curricula.
