The Civil Engineering Department was established after the foundation of the Faculty of Engineering in 1426/1427 AH to contribute to meeting the Kingdom's need for civil engineers. The civil engineering program qualifies students according to a study plan that extends for five academic years, during which the department works to build a scientific base that includes many engineering skills and knowledge in the fields of civil engineering, such as land and aerial surveying and all of its field applications, theories of structural analysis, in addition of traffic and transportation engineering applications and road networks design, as well as branches of irrigation, hydraulics, water resources, hydrology, water supply networks, sewage, sanitary and environmental engineering.

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.
