Study Plan for the Bachelor of Civil Engineering Program

Course Specification 2023

Civil Engineering Department has 6 educational laboratories that allow the student to have practical applications, and thus the student is sufficiently qualified for any practical application of the materials that he studied theoretically. So, besides the theoretical portion, the students are qualified to perform selected laboratory experiments in different laboratories of the Department. These laboratories include a Computer Lab, Surveying Lab, Hydraulic Lab, Soil Mechanics Lab, Strength of Materials and Concrete Lab, and Traffic and Transportation Lab.
